To solve the problem, we need to analyze how the current sensitivity and voltage sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer change when the resistance is increased by a factor of 3. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Current Sensitivity (Is)**: - Let the initial current sensitivity of the galvanometer be \( I_s \). - According to the problem, when the resistance is increased by a factor of 3, the current sensitivity increases by 35%. Thus, the new current sensitivity \( I_s' \) can be expressed as: \[ ...
