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?

A galvanometer is a sensitive current measuring device that primarily indicates the presence and direction of current, while a voltmeter measures voltage in a circuit. Galvanometers typically have lower resistance and higher sensitivity than voltmeters, which are designed to measure voltage across a component or circuit.


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.


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.


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 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.


Why is the lamp and scale arrangement in a ballisitics galvanometer at a distance of 1 meter from the galvanometer?

The lamp and scale arrangement in a ballistic galvanometer is placed at a distance of 1 meter to ensure that the deflection of the galvanometer caused by the current pulse is accurately measured. Placing it at this distance allows for the angular displacement of the galvanometer's coil to be proportional to the charge passing through it, aiding in the precise measurement of the current pulse's magnitude.


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.


How can a voltmeter be constructed using a galvanometer?

pp you can use the R motor from a hard drive. note this motors don't work for testing current.
