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: An ammeter actually is a voltmeter measuring the voltage drop across a very small shunt resistance. They can measure AC or DC, make sure the meter is rated for the anticipated current, and always connect in series.
In a circuit, either in Parallel or in Series with other components.
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.
-- In a series circuit, no matter where you install the ammeter, it will always read the same current. -- In a parallel circuit, the ammeter may read a different current when it's moved to a different parallel branch.
if you want to find the current (in amperes) through the resistor then connect a ammeter in series with the resistor.
connect ammeter in series with load.

Connecting an ammeter in series with a resistor in a circuit will not affect the current through the resistor. The ammeter measures the current passing through it, so it becomes part of the circuit and simply measures the current flowing through the resistor without changing it.
HOW TO CONNECT AN AMMETER Always connect an ammeter in SERIES in a circuit. Always ensure that the ammeter has a higher reading range than the expected current load, including start-up spikes. An ammeter expected to read a steady current of 13A should have a max range of 20A.
To connect an ammeter, you must place it in series with the circuit so that the current flows through the ammeter. To connect a voltmeter, you must place it in parallel with the component you are measuring the voltage across. Make sure to set the ammeter and voltmeter to the proper range before connecting them.
Series connect it within the line of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.More detailSince we measure the flow of current IN the circuit, the ammeter must be connected in series with the part of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.One of the ammeter's terminals must be connected to a point of the incoming current flow and its second terminal must be connected to the point of on-going current flow. To do this, cut the relevant circuit wire and connect one terminal of the ammeter to each end of the cut.

I'm going to take this as "How do you connect resistors is series?" just connect one wire of the first resistor to one wire of the second.
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.
A resistor is connected in series with a practical voltage source in order to determine the current produced by the source.
