The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the resistance \( R_s \) that needs to be connected in series with a galvanometer of resistance \( G \) ohms to change its range from \( V \) volts to \( nV \) volts, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance Initially, the galvanometer shows a maximum deflection at a voltage \( V \) when a current \( I \) flows through it. The relationship can be expressed using Ohm's law: \[ V = I \cdot G \] ### Step 2: Introduce the series resistance When we connect an additional resistance \( R_s \) in series with the galvanometer, the total voltage across the circuit when the current \( I \) flows is now \( nV \). The total voltage can be expressed as: \[ nV = I \cdot R_s + I \cdot G \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the equation We can factor out \( I \) from the right-hand side: \[ nV = I (R_s + G) \] ### Step 4: Solve for the series resistance \( R_s \) To isolate \( R_s \), we can rearrange the equation: \[ R_s + G = \frac{nV}{I} \] \[ R_s = \frac{nV}{I} - G \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( I \) in terms of \( V \) From the initial relationship \( V = I \cdot G \), we can express \( I \) as: \[ I = \frac{V}{G} \] Substituting this into the equation for \( R_s \): \[ R_s = \frac{nV}{\frac{V}{G}} - G \] \[ R_s = nG - G \] \[ R_s = (n - 1)G \] ### Conclusion Thus, the resistance \( R_s \) that should be connected in series with the galvanometer to change its range from \( V \) volts to \( nV \) volts is: \[ R_s = (n - 1)G \]
