**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Galvanometer:** - A galvanometer is an instrument used to detect and measure small electric currents. It consists of a coil of wire that is suspended in a magnetic field. 2. **Deflection of the Galvanometer:** - When an electric current passes through the coil of the galvanometer, it experiences a torque due to the magnetic field, causing the needle to deflect from its rest position. The angle of this deflection is denoted as θ (theta). ...
