Solution
remain unchanged
For a tangent galvanometer, deflection is given by
`θ = tan^-1(i/k)`
Here, k is the constant called reduction factor.
From the above formula, we can say that deflection is independent of the number of turns.
Hence, on doubling the number of turns, deflection remains the same.

Magnetic scalar potential is defined as `U(vec r_2) - U(vec r_1) = - ∫_vec(r_1)^vec(r_2)` `vec (B) . dvec(l)`
