A galvanometer coil has a resistance of 12 Ω and the metre shows full scale deflection for a current of 3 mA. How will you convert the metre into a voltmeter of range 0 to 18 V?
Converting galvanometer into voltmeter is done by adding resistance in series.The resistance is given by
R=VIg−G; G is resiatance of galvanometer.
⇒R=5988Ω
