A galvanometer acting as a voltmeter should have
low resistance in series with its coil
low resistance in parallel with its coil
high resistance in series with its coil
high resistance in parallel with its coil
C.
high resistance in series with its coil
Voltmeter has high resistance and is always connected in parallel with the circuit. So, to convert a galvanometer into voltmeter, a high resistance must be connected in series with it so that it draws negligible current from the circuit.

Two moving coil meters, M1 and M2 have the following particulars:
R1 = 10 Ω N1 = 30,
A1 = 3.6 x 10–3 m2, B1 = 0.25 T
R2 = 14 Ω; N2 = 42,
A2 = 1.8 x 10–3 m2, B2 = 0.50 T
(The spring constants k are identical for the two meters).
Determine the ratio of (a) current sensitivity and (b) voltage sensitivity of M2 and M1.
