A
High resistance in series
a A galvanometer has its own resistance low but a voltmeter must have high resistance. $A$ voltmeter indeed is a modified form of a pivoted coil galvanometer. since the resistance of coil of galvanometer of its own is low, its resistance is to be increased as is a necessary condition for a voltmeter. For this an appropriate high resistance should be connected in series with the galvanometer as shown.
Note$:$The resistance of an ideal voltmeter should be infinite.

In a toroid the number of turns per unit length is $1000$ and current through it is $\frac{1}{4 \pi}$ ampere. The magnetic field produced inside (in $weber / m ^2$ ) will be
A semicircular ring of radius $R$ carrying current $i$ is placed in a magnetic field of intensity $B$ so that plane of wire is perpendicular to magnetic field as shown. Net force acting on the ring is
A galvanometer has a coil of resistance $100\, ohm$ and gives a full scale deflection for $30\, mA$ current. If it is to work as a voltmeter of $30\, volt$ range, the resistance required to be added will be.....$Ω$
A wire is bent in the form of an equilateral triangle of side $100 \,cm$ and carries a current of $2 \,A$. It is placed in a magnetic field of induction $2.0 \,T$ directed perpendicular into the plane of paper. The direction and magnitude of magnetic force acting on each side of the triangle will be
A charged particle is released from rest in a region of steady and uniform electric and magnetic fields which are parallel to each other. The particle will move in a
A particle of mass $m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27}\, kg$ and charge $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$ enters a region of uniform magnetic field of strength $1$ $tesla$ along the direction shown in the figure. The speed of the particle is $10^7\, m/s.$ The magnetic field is directed along the inward normal to the plane of the paper. The particle enters the field at $C$ and leaves at $D.$ Then the angle $\theta$ must be :-.........$^o$
