Why galvanometer are used in electronic instruments that measures low current and voltage?
The galvanometer is very sensitive.
While transporting sensitive galvanometer the terminals are?
connecting the damping resistance across the terminals
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 kind of meter is created when is shunt is added to a galvanometer?
A galvanometer with a low resistance shunt in parallel makes an ammeter.
What is the ideal internal resistance of galvanometer?
zero
Why A sensitive galvanometer cannot be stable?
A sensitive galvanometer cannot be stable. Explain Why?
Why galvanometer are used in electronic instruments that measures low current and voltage?
The galvanometer is very sensitive.
Why galvanometer called sensitive instrument?
The galvanometer is called sensitive instrument because it can detect even very small magnitude of current and will show the deflection.
While transporting sensitive galvanometer the terminals are?
connecting the damping resistance across the terminals
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.

What is the difference between the construction of a moving coil galvanometer and a ballistic galvanometer?
What is the difference between the construction of a moving coil galvanometer and a ballistic galvanometer?
What is a NULL Point of a galvanometer?
Its a point on the galvanometer where the galvanometer shows no deflection as no current passes through it.
Does a galvanometer have a reversed current or not?
The current is reversed in a galvanometer
Why tangent galvanometer is called tangent galvanometer?
because in tangent galvanometer earth magnetic field and magnetic field of magnet inside galvanometer are perpendicular to each other
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.
What is weston galvanometer?
The weston type galvanometer is a moving coil galvanometer in which a pointer is attached to the coil for measuring deflection due to torque .
