a high resistance in series
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.
A galvanometer with a low-resistance shunt in parallel with its moving coil is designed to measure larger currents than the galvanometer alone can handle. The shunt allows most of the current to bypass the sensitive coil, protecting it from damage while enabling a more accurate reading of high currents. This setup improves the range and utility of the galvanometer in various applications, allowing it to function effectively as an ammeter. The shunt's resistance is carefully chosen to ensure that the majority of the current passes through it, minimizing the effect on the galvanometer's measurement.
The Helmholtz galvanometer cannot be converted into an ammeter primarily because it is designed to measure small currents through a deflection of a magnetic needle, which is not suitable for the high currents typically encountered in ammeter applications. Additionally, ammeters require a low resistance to avoid significant voltage drop across the meter, while a galvanometer has a high internal resistance that could lead to inaccurate readings or damage when used with high currents. Thus, the operating principles and design constraints of a galvanometer do not align with the requirements for ammeter functionality.
The main part of a megger, or insulation resistance tester, is its high-voltage generator, which produces a test voltage to measure the insulation resistance of electrical systems and components. It also includes a sensitive galvanometer or digital display to indicate the resistance value. Additionally, megger devices typically have test leads and terminals that connect to the circuit under test, allowing for accurate readings of insulation quality.
a high resistance in series
Ballistic galvanometers are used in applications where a very short-duration current measurement is required, such as measuring the charge of particles in particle physics experiments or determining the output of pulsed power supplies. They are also used in high-speed photography to capture events that occur in a very short period of time.

"An ohmmeter is an electrical instrument that measures electrical resistance, the opposition to an electric current."The unit of measurement for resistance is ohms (Ω).It is useful device for rapid measurement of resistance. It is consist of galvanometer and adjustable resistance Rs of known value and a cell connected in series. The resistance R to be measured is connected between the terminals.The series resistance Rs is so adjusted that when the terminals are short circuited i.e., when R = 0, the galvanometer gives full scale deflection. So the extreme graduation of the usual scale the galvanometer is marked 0 for resistance measurement. When terminals are not joined no current passes through the galvanometer and its deflection will be zero . Thus zero of the scale marked as infinity. . When R is not infinite , the galvanometer deflects to some intermediate point depending on the value of R scale can be calibrated to read the resistance directly.
Assuming galvanometer has zero or negligible internal resistance. If u connect resistor R>>RL(Load resistance) and connect it parallel to RL, it will hardly cause any change in voltage across load resistance. Suppose small current Ig goes through galvanometer. Since galvanometer have zero internal resistance, Voltage across RL = Voltage across R = IgR
A galvanometer can be converted into a voltmeter by connecting it with very high resistance.

A moving coil galvanometer is sensitive and accurately measures small currents due to the rotation of a coil in a magnetic field, producing a deflection proportional to the current. It is preferred for measuring small currents because of its high sensitivity and low electrical resistance.
No, Dacron and ballistic nylon are two different materials. Dacron is a type of polyester fabric known for its durability and resistance to wrinkles and shrinkage, commonly used in clothing and upholstery. Ballistic nylon, on the other hand, is a thick and tough synthetic fabric primarily used in applications requiring high abrasion resistance, like luggage and military gear.
Its a method to determine high resistance. Hope that helps.
