AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the resistance of a voltmeter 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. **Understand the Components**: - A galvanometer is an instrument used to detect and measure small electric currents. It has a certain resistance, denoted as \( R_g \). - A voltmeter is used to measure the potential difference (voltage) across two points in a circuit. ...
