A moving coil galvanometer can be converted into a voltmeter by connecting :

A

a low resistance in series with its coil.

B

a low resistance in parallel with its coil.

C

a high resistance in parallel with its coil

D

a high resistance in series with its coil

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
A volt meter is a device with a very High resistance. It is connected in parallel to the device under test. A high resistance allows to drop all the voltage while drawing least possible current. Fill in the blanks
