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.

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 a voltmeter placed parallel to a circuit?

Depends. What did you want to measure? If it's voltage drop across the incandescent element, then you had better hook up your infinite resistance voltmeter in parallel with the lamp.


Voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistor?

A voltmeter can be connected in parallel with a resistor to show the voltage across the resistor.


How is an voltmeter connected in a circuit.how is an voltmeter is connected in a circuit?

A voltmeter is connected in parallel to the component or section of the circuit where the voltage is to be measured. This parallel connection allows the voltmeter to measure the potential difference across that component without significantly affecting the circuit's performance. It's important to ensure that the voltmeter has a high internal resistance to minimize the current flowing through it and avoid loading the circuit.


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 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.


Why shunt resistance is used ammeter?

A shunt resistance is a low resistance connected parallel to the galvanometer so that a large portion of current passes through the low resistance and a small fraction of current passes through the galvanometer this saves the galvanometer from damage

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.

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.

Is a ammeter connected in series or in parallel with the circuit under test?

An ammeter is connected in series. A voltmeter is connected in parallel. ammeter should always be connected in series instead of parallel becoz it is a low resistance device and we know that resistance is inversly proportional to current so more current will pass through it and if it is connected in parallel than it may get damaged


How should a ammeter and voltmeter be connected in circuit?

Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
