Galvanometer Conversion — VoltmeterMediumQuestion 20177

Question

A galvanometer is converted into a voltmeter by connecting:
  1. A
    A high resistance in series
    Correct
  2. B
    A low resistance in parallel
  3. C
    A capacitor in parallel
  4. D
    A shunt in series

Correct answer

A high resistance in series

Explanation

The high series resistance limits current so the potential drop across the galvanometer represents the full measured voltage. High resistance → high voltage range.
