A multiplier is used in designing a basic voltmeter to extend the measurement range of the device without requiring a high internal current. It allows the voltmeter to measure higher voltage levels safely by dividing the voltage across a resistor network, which reduces the voltage seen by the sensitive components. This ensures accurate readings while protecting the meter from damage due to excessive voltage. Additionally, using a multiplier helps maintain a higher input impedance, minimizing the loading effect on the circuit being measured.

What must you do to make a voltmeter become an ammeter and an ammeter to become a voltmeter?

Your teacher is looking for a specific example to this question.I know how from a practical point of veiw.Take one volt meter and one known resistance that will handle the amperage going through your circuit. Usually you would use a low ohm resister so you didn't effect the measured load.Measure voltage drop accross the resister and do some moderatly complicated math (I use a converter on the net or a chart in one of my old text books) and bingo bango a ameter from a volt meter.Be aware I havent done this in 30 years (Auto tech school)Once you built it you can take it apart and go back to a volt meter.Another AnswerThe first answer describes how you can use a voltmeter in order to measure current, but I don't think this is what the questioner is asking. It's completely impractical to convert a voltmeter into an ammeter and vice-versa!However, it is possible to convert a basic moving-coil movement (i.e. the heart of an analogue meter) so that it will act as a voltmeter or ammeter.To convert the movement so that it acts as voltmeter involves inserting a high-resistance 'multiplier' in series with the movement. To convert the movement so that it acts as an ammeter involves inserting a low-resistance 'shunt' in parallel with the movement.The necessary values of the multiplier resistance or shunt resistance depend upon the internal resistance of the moving-coil movement itself, and upon the maximum values of voltage or current you wish to measure. So, obviously, a comprehensive answer to this question is not possible unless these values are provided.
