    A cell of emf $
    90 \mathrm{~V}
    $ is connected across series combination of two resistors each of $
    100 \Omega
    $ resistance. A voltmeter of resistance $
    400 \Omega
    $ is used to measure the potential difference across each resistor. The reading of the voltmeter will be:

    The net resistance of a voltmeter should be large to ensure that

    In the circuit shown, below a student performing Ohm's law experiment accidentally puts the voltmeter and ammeter as shown in the circuit below, the reading in the voltmeter will be close to:

    In a 20 m deep lake, the bottom is at 4°C. The air temperature is constant –10°C. The thermal conductivity of ice is 4 times that of water. Neglecting expansion of water at freezing. The maximum thickness of the ice will be:

    Voltmeter

    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

    Convert the galvanometer into a voltmeter by connecting a large series of resistances. 

    • 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 $n^{\text {th }}$ part of the applied voltage across galvanometer, that is $V_g=V / n$, then $R=(n-1) G$.
