(b) ${v_d} = \frac{i}{{ne\pi {r^2}}} \Rightarrow {v_d} \propto \frac{i}{{{r^2}}} \Rightarrow \frac{v}{{v'}} = \frac{{{i_1}}}{{{i_2}}} \times {\left( {\frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}}} \right)^2}$$ \Rightarrow \,\,v' = \frac{v}{2}$.

    The actual value of resistance $R$, shown in the figure is $30\,\Omega $. This is measured in an experiment as shown using the standard formula $R = \frac{V}{I}$ where $V$ and $I$ are the readings of the voltmeter and ammeter, respectively. If the measured value of $R$ is $5\%$ less, then the internal resistance of the voltmeter is ................. $\Omega$
