Why there is an extension range of voltmeter when a series resistance not equal to voltmeter is used?
why is extention
Why do you have specific resistance combination inside a voltmeter and an ammeter Explain?
in voltmeter we have internal Resistance and connected in series , to current don't transfer in voltmeter , and we have internal resistance in ammeter and connected in parallel , to most current transfer through the ammeter.
Is Series resistance and PMMC used as voltmeter?
yes
Which will normally have the larger resistance a voltmeter or an ammeter?
A voltmeter has the large resistance.The voltage across any component can be measured if & only if the terminals of that component will be open and this will we can acheiv if we connect the high resistance voltmeter across the open terminals of that component to measure the voltage.
A galvanometer can be converted into a voltmeter by placing?
a high resistance in series
Why is ideal resistance of a voltmeter infinity?
generally voltmeters are connected in parallel in the circuit.If the voltmeter resistance is lower as it increases the current rating,because by connecting parallel we are decreasing the resistance,so if the voltmeter resistance is not too much higher it leads to burning of the meter,For that we can conclude that the in ideal the voltmeter has infinite resistance.
What is the ideal voltmeter high or low?
Ideal Voltmeter has an infinite resistance so it won't draw current from the circuit, but in real life ideal voltmeter doesn't exist.
Ideal universal high resistance voltmeter?
The ideal, or theoretical, voltmeter has infinite resistance, which means that, at any measured voltage, there is no current through the voltmeter. In the practical world, this is impossible, but there are high resistance voltmeters that minimize the error introduced by drawing a current from a circuit. A typical digital voltmeter has 10 to 20 megohms of resistance, and there are high performance versions that can have thousands of megohms of resistance, or more.
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.
How is resistivity connected to resistance?
Resistance is connected in parallel with voltmeter or say, voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistance.
In order to minimize the power loss in an ampmeter its resistance should be?
Just like voltmeters, ammeters tend to influence the amount of current in the circuits they're connected to. However, unlike the ideal voltmeter, the ideal ammeter has zero internal resistance, so as to drop as little voltage as possible as electrons flow through it. Note that this ideal resistance value is exactly opposite as that of a voltmeter. With voltmeters, we want as little current to be drawn as possible from the circuit under test. With ammeters, we want as little voltage to be dropped as possible while conducting current.
How do you measure the resistance of a motor?
we can measure the resistance of the motor by using voltmeter ammeter method of by directly using a multimeter across the armature terminals of the motor in voltmeter ammeter method we should use a less value of dc voltage to find the resistance

Why do you get different results when calculating the voltage drop across a resistor and ignoring resistance of a voltmeter and when considering it?
Voltage drop is the product of current and resistance. When you connect a voltmeter across a resistor, you are connecting that voltmeter's internal resistance in parallel with that resistor. The resulting resistance of this parallel combination is lowerthan that of the resistor. As a result the voltage drop (current times this lower resistance) will be lower than it would be without the voltmeter connected. This is called the 'loading effect' of that voltmeter.The higher the internal resistance of the voltmeter, the less effect it will have on lowering the overall resistance when connected across a resistor. This is why the internal resistance of a voltmeter is made deliberately very high. Under most circumstances, therefore, a conventional voltmeter will have very little effect on the resistance of the circuit being tested and, so, it will have no significant effect on the voltage appearing across the resistor.However... for circuits that already have exceptionally-high resistance values, you must be careful when you select a voltmeter as you must take into account its internal resistance and ensure the voltmeter you use has the very highest internal resistance available. This is because the loading effect increases with circuits that have a high resistance. That might involve selecting a voltmeter that works on a completely-different principle , such as an electrostatic voltmeter or, perhaps, an oscilloscope
What is the use of universal high resistance voltmeter?
A voltmeter must have a very high resistance to measure voltage. A voltmeter is placed in parallel with the element that you are measuring. If the voltmeter has a low internal resistance, then all of the current will flow through the voltmeter instead of the element. You want all of the current to flow through the element, to get an accurate reading of the voltage. Conversely, an ampmeter must have zero resistance, because it is placed in series with the element.
What would be the resistance of an ideal voltmeter?
The theoretical resistance (idea resistance) of an ammeter is zero. With a voltmeter, it's infinitely high. In some analog meters the full scale deflection is produced by only about 50 microamps. Actually that does not change from ammeter to voltmeter, just the configuration of the meter's external "connection circuit"changes. Simple ammeters are 'connected in series' devices. The resistance of such an ammeter must be kept very low because, if it were a high resistance, that would seriously limit the current allowed into the circuit and would impair the circuit's function. Voltmeters are 'connected in parallel' devices. The theoretical resistance of a volt meter is very high, the higher the better. It is checking the potential between two points, so, to have the least effect on the circuit it is measuring, it must draw as little current as possible.
