Why there is an extension range of voltmeter when a series resistance not equal to voltmeter is used?

why is extention


How would you extend the range of a voltmeter and ammeter?

if we would like to expand the range of voltmeter we should change the voltmeter resistance even to be appropriate . we should use a variable resistance to control of its value . I would extend the range of a voltmeter by adding resistance in series with it. I would extend the range of an ammeter by connecting resistance in paerallel with it.


What happens if an ammeter is connected in parallel and voltmeter connected in series in a circuit?

The voltmeter will register the volts, the ammeter will either explode or blow a fuse since it has a very low resistance and is designed to be used in series to measure the current flowing through it.


How do you connect a voltmeter in parallel circuit?

A voltmeter is used to measure potential difference across two points in an electrical circuit . The voltmeter is connected in parallel across the circuit element (resistance ) so that its inclusion in the circuit has negligible effect on total resistance and current flowing in yhe circuit A voltmeter has high resistance,if connected in series it will increase of circuit and reduce the current in the circuit


Why pmmc used for DC only?

Because in the coil DC current follow easly and pmmc meter is making with coil and AC current is not follow in coil so we used the pmmc only fpr DC current.


What device is used to measure the resistance of a resistor?

You can use a multi-meter to measure resistance. The specific portion of the meter for measuring resistance is called an ohmmeter.


Why the series resistor of the voltmeter is high?

Aim of any measuring instrument is to measure the object without affecting it. Voltmeter is used to measure voltage between two points and connected in parallel. Thus voltmeter should not change the voltage. If voltmeter resistance is very high, it will be as good as infinity compared to load. Thus connecting voltmeter will not change the voltage and measure it accurately.


Why does voltmeter practically not consume any electric energy from the electric circuit?

The resistance used in a voltmeter is extremely high when measuring voltage, which is why the current is low (I = E/R).


Which of the material is used for the swamping resistance that is connected in series with the working coil of a voltmeter?

A swamping resistor is usually manufactured from the metal alloy manganin (trade name), or other alloy with similar resistance/temperature characteristics -i.e. practically zero temperature coefficient of resistance. In other words, its resistance will remain more-or-less constant over a wide range of temperature variation.


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.


Should a Voltmeter always be connected in a series with a component?

Voltmeter should be connected always in parallel to a circuit ANSWER : IT should be in parallel except when used to measure current. Then it should be placed in series across a shunt.


Why voltmeter should have a very high resistance?

well a voltmeter measures AC and DC voltage. resistance is a term used only for DC voltage, A voltmeter uses a term called Impedance for AC, without it, when you measure across two terminals it would create a short circuit and would blow up the meter. it is basically a safety feature to prevent people from creating short circuits when measuring.
