How can a galvanometer be converted into a voltmeter to read a maximum potential difference of V ? Support your answer with related mathematical expression.

Answer»

SOLUTION :To convert a GALVANOMETER into a voltmeter, we JOIN a suitable high resistance in series of galvanometer. If the galvanometer gives full scale deflection for a current `I_g` and has a resistance `R_G`, then to measure a potential difference up to V volt we MUST join a resistance R in series, so that
`V = I_g (R_G+ R)`
`:. "" R = V/(I_g) - R_G`.
