A galvanometer can be converted into a voltmeter by connecting the high resistance in series with the galvanometer so that only a small amount of current passes through it.
- True
- False
- Cannot be determined
- None of the above
Correct answer: True
Solution
To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter, a high resistance is connected in series with it. This limits the current passing through the galvanometer, allowing it to measure potential difference accurately.
