To solve the problem, we need to determine the resistance \( R' \) required to change the range of the galvanometer from \( 0 \) to \( \frac{V}{2} \) volts. We will start by using the relationship between the galvanometer's resistance, the series resistance, and the voltage range. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Setup**: - Let the resistance of the galvanometer be \( G \). - When connected in series with a resistance \( R \), the galvanometer can measure a voltage \( V \). - The current through the galvanometer when measuring \( V \) is given by: ...
