### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Setup**: In the experiment, we have a resistor (R) and a voltmeter. Normally, the voltmeter should be connected in parallel with the resistor to measure the voltage across it. 2. **Connecting the Voltmeter in Series**: If the voltmeter is mistakenly connected in series with the resistor, the circuit configuration changes. The voltmeter, which has a very high internal resistance (let's denote it as R_v), is now part of the same circuit path as the resistor. 3. **Analyzing the Circuit**: - When connected in series, the total resistance in the circuit becomes the sum of the resistor and the voltmeter's internal resistance: ...
