What kind of galvanometer is used in the laboratory to make voltmeter or ammeter ?
Answers
Answer:
A galvanometer can be converted into ammeter by connecting a low resistance called shunt in parallel to the galvanometer. A voltmeter is a device used to measure the potential difference between two points in a circuit.

Explanation:
Voltmeter is always connected in parallel to a circuit. Since Galvanometer is a very sensitive instrument, therefore it can not measure high potential difference. In order to convert a Galvanometer into voltmeter, a very high resistance known as "series resistance" is connected in series with the galvanometer.
