To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter, we need to add a series resistance (let's call it \( R \)) to the galvanometer. Here’s how we can find the value of \( R \) step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the given parameters - The resistance of the galvanometer \( G = 20 \, \Omega \) - The maximum current through the galvanometer \( i_g = 1.0 \, \text{mA} = 1.0 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{A} \) - The maximum voltage we want to measure with the voltmeter \( V = 10 \, V \) ### Step 2: Use the formula for voltage in a series circuit ...
