Question

The conversion of a moving coil galvanometer into a voltmeter is done by (A) introducing a resistance of large value in series (B) introducing a resistance of small value in parallel (C) introducing a resistance of large value in parallel (D) introducing a resistance of small value in series

Galvanometer is a very sensitive instrument, therefore it can not measure high potential difference. In order to convert a Galvanometer into voltmeter, a very high resistance known as "series resistance" is connected in series with the galvanometer. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/d19a1fd6dcbd3e3ca13de94ebf4e4ac8-.png" />
