Detailed Solution

Having V as constant, the resistance R of an electric circuit is doubled, then the reading on the ammeter becomes half of its original value.
As given, having V (potential difference) as constant, the resistance of an electric circuit is doubled, R'=2R, then using Ohm's law, we have I=VR.
Now the current flowing in the circuit will be
 I'=VR'
 =V2R
  I'=I2 I' is reduced by half from its previous values. Hence the reading in the ammeter becomes half of its original value.
