a series resistence with its coil
A galvanometer can be converted into a voltmeter by connecting it with very high resistance.
Linear Scale
moving a loop of wire through a magnetic Field. The rotation of a coil of copper wire trough a magnetic field changes magnetic field as "seen" from the coil inducing an alternating current.
The COIL HAS A POSITIVE AND A NEGATIVE TERMINAL. If you look at the top of the coil, it is generally marked + and - on the top.
There are a couple of examples that come to mind where there is a coil in a circuit. One is, the coil is used as a choke to block harmonics from going down the electrical line. Another example of a coil in the line is the coil in a magnetic contactor. When this coil is energized the contacts of the magnetic contactor close.
To convert a moving coil galvanometer into a multi-range ammeter, you can add shunt resistors of different values in parallel to the galvanometer. By selecting the appropriate shunt resistor, you can change the range of the ammeter. This allows the ammeter to measure a wide range of currents while still using the sensitive galvanometer as the measuring element.
What is the difference between the construction of a moving coil galvanometer and a ballistic galvanometer?
A galvanometer is converted into an ammeter by adding a low resistance called a shunt in parallel with the galvanometer coil. This shunt diverts most of the current around the galvanometer, allowing it to measure higher currents accurately. The shunt creates a parallel path with a known resistance, which scales the current to provide a direct reading on the ammeter.
Some disadvantages of a moving coil galvanometer include its limited range of measurement due to its delicate construction, susceptibility to external magnetic fields which can affect accuracy, and the need for calibration to ensure reliable readings. Additionally, the moving coil galvanometer may have a slow response time compared to other types of meters.
The ammeter is a device that measures the electric current. Hot wire, electrostatic, moving iron, moving coil, and induction are the kinds of ammeter.

moving coil & moving iron
A cylindrical core of soft iron is used in a moving coil galvanometer because soft iron has high magnetic permeability, meaning it enhances the magnetic field produced by the coil. This helps increase the sensitivity and responsiveness of the galvanometer to small currents passing through the coil.
A weston galvanometer is a type of sensitive instrument used to detect and measure small electric currents. It uses a moving coil suspended in a magnetic field to deflect in response to the current passing through it. This deflection is then used to indicate the strength of the current.
A moving coil galvanometer is a type of scanning device used in the transportation and trucking industry. The vehicle is pulled through a fixed scanner while an operator watches a closed circuit television.
Copper is used in moving coil galvanometers because it is a good conductor of electricity, which allows for minimal resistance and efficient flow of currents. Additionally, copper is flexible and ductile, making it ideal for winding into a coil to create the moving part of the galvanometer.
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.
