CBSEENPH12047853

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

Solution

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 is draws negligible current from the circuit.
