Convortion of moving coil galvanometrr into voltmeter?

A galvanometer can be converted into a voltmeter by connecting it with very high resistance.


Difference between galvanometer and voltmeter?

Galvanometer is similiar to ammeter which is used to detect small current through it whereas a voltmeter measures the potential difference in a cicuit..


What resistance value is add to convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter?

It depends on the resistance of the galvanometer and the current required to reach full scale. A 100 ohm meter requiring 1 milliampere would require 99.9 KOhms in series to become a 100 volt voltmeter.


How you convert galvanometer into ammeter in detail?

By attaching a resistance in parallel connection with the galvanometer. Or when a low resistor connected in parallel with galvanometer ,the galvanometer is converted in ammeter. and the resistor is called shunt resistance.


High resistance in parallel connected with galvanometer to form voltmeter?

That won't work. To convert an ammeter (a galvanometer is a very sensitive type of ammeter) you connect a high value resistor in series with it.


Moving coil galvanometer converted into a multi range ammeter?

yes


How can you convert galvanometer into ammeter?

Since Galvanometer is a very sensitive instrument therefore it can't measure heavy currents. In order to convert a Galvanometer into an Ammeter, a very low resistance known as "shunt" resistance is connected in parallel to Galvanometer. Value of shunt is so adjusted that most of the current passes through the shunt. In this way a Galvanometer is converted into Ammeter and can measure heavy currents without fully deflected.


What are the readings for the experiment - to convert a galvanometer int ammeter?

A galvanometer is a type of ammeter an instrument for detecting and measuring electric current. A galvanometer can be converted into ammeter by connecting resistance in parallel with it.

What was the applications of galvanometer?

It can be used to form ammeter measuring the current intensity , Voltmeter measuring the potential difference , ohmmeter measuring the resistance.


What value of resistance is used to convert galvanometer into voltmeter?

It depends on the resistance of the galvanometer and its full scale current. A 100 ohm meter reading 1 milliampere would require 0.1 volts to reach full scale, so it would require about 0.1 ohms in parallel to become a 1 ampere ammeter.


How is an ammeter converted to a voltmeter?

The ammeter is used in series, because you want to measure the current through a circuit. The voltmeter is used in parallel, because you want to measure the voltage across a circuit. If you were to place the voltmeter in series, no current would flow because of the relatively high impedance of the voltmeter. If you were to place the ammeter in parallel, you would create a short-circuit, due to the relatively low impedance of the ammeter.
