MCQ
A galvanometer can be used as a voltmeter by connecting a
- ✓High resistance in series
- BLow resistance in series
- CHigh resistance in parallel
- DLow resistance in parallel
✓
Answer
Correct option: 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.
