A galvanometer may be converted into ammeter or a voltmeter. In which of the following cases the resistance of the devices, so obtained will be largest?

  1. A Ammeter of range \(1 \mathrm{~A}\)
  2. B Ammeter of range \(10 \mathrm{~A}\)
  3. C Voltmeter of range \(1 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D Voltmeter of range \(10 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Voltmeter of range \(10 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, to convert a galvanometer in ammeter, a very small resistance is connected in parallel, so that equivalent resistance becomes small. Whereas, to convert a galvanometer into voltmeter of greater range, a high resistance is connected in series. \(\therefore\) To get…
