AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the resistance of an ammeter is greater than or less than that of the galvanometer from which it is formed, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Components**: - Let \( G \) be the resistance of the galvanometer. - To convert the galvanometer into an ammeter, we add a shunt resistance \( S \) in parallel with the galvanometer. ...
