(a) $i \propto {r^{3/2}} \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{i_2}}}{{{i_1}}}} \right)^{3/2}} = {\left( {\frac{3}{{1.5}}} \right)^{2/3}} = {(4)^{1/3}}$
$ \Rightarrow {r_2} = {(4)^{1/3}} \times {r_1} = {4^{1/3}}$ ( $r_1 = 1\, mm$)

    The galvanometer deflection, when key $K_1$ is closed but $K_2$ is open, equals $\theta_0$ (see figure). On closing $K_2$ also and adjusting $R_2$ to $5\,\Omega $ , the deflection in galvanometer becomes $\frac{{\theta _0}}{5}$. The resistance of the galvanometer is, then, given by [Neglect the internal resistance of battery]: .................. $\Omega$
