If a galvanometer is connected in series with a high resistance so that potential drop across the galvanometer is 1/n th of the total applied voltage, then show that the combined resistance of the galvanometer and the series resistor is n times the resistance of the galvanometer i.e.,

Assertion (A): A high resistance is connected in series with the galvanometer of meter bridge. Reason (R ): As resistance increases, the current also increases.

A galvanometer of resistance 5 Omega is connected in series with a resistance of 0.2Omega to a battery of negligible internal resistance. The deflection is noted. If the 0.2Omega resistance is replaced by 2 Omega resistance, the value of shunt resistance to be connected to the galvanometer to maintain the same deflection is
