Galvanometer is similiar to ammeter which is used to detect small current through it

whereas a voltmeter measures the potential difference in a cicuit..

Uses of voltmeter?

A voltmeter is used to measure the difference in electric potential ("voltage") between two points, usually but not necessarily in an electrical circuit..


What does a voltmeter do and how is it used to measure electrical potential difference?

A voltmeter is a device used to measure the electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit. It works by connecting the voltmeter in parallel with the component or circuit being measured. The voltmeter then displays the voltage difference in volts, allowing the user to determine the potential difference between the two points.


How can one determine the potential difference between two points in a circuit?

To determine the potential difference between two points in a circuit, you can use a voltmeter. Connect the voltmeter across the two points you want to measure and the reading displayed on the voltmeter will indicate the potential difference between those two points.


What resistance value is add to convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter?

It depends on the resistance of the galvanometer and the current required to reach full scale. A 100 ohm meter requiring 1 milliampere would require 99.9 KOhms in series to become a 100 volt voltmeter.


How is a voltmeter connected in the circuit to measure the potential difference between two points?

The voltmeter is connected in parallel between the two points whose potential difference is required.


High resistance in parallel connected with galvanometer to form voltmeter?

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.


What should you do to convert a galvano meter into volto meter?

Connect a large but precisely known resistance in series with the galvanometer. For example, if you connect a 1-Megohm resistor in series with it, then the galvanometer will indicate 1 microampere of current when it's connected across a potential difference of 1 volt ... quite a sensitve voltmeter.
