Voltmeter

It is a device used to measure Potential difference and is always put in parallel with the circuit element whose voltage is to be measured

Conversion of galvanometer into voltmeter:  by Connecting a large Resistance R  in series. 

  • The equivalent resistance of the combination is G+R

  • The required value of high resistance to be connected in series with the galvanometer is R= \frac{V}{I_{g}} -G= \left [ \frac{V}{V_{g}}-1 \right ] G. V is the total voltage applied across the circuit and V_g is the total voltage drop across the galvanometer.

  • if n^{th} part of the applied voltage across galvanometer, that is V_{g}=V / n, then R=(n-1)G.
