How to measure a voltmeter or an ammeter?

Open in App

Solution

Voltmeter can find the vlotage accross any load in the circuit...so, it connect in the circuit as parallel to the load and take the measurment...
simialirly,
Ammeter can find the Current through any load in the circuit...but it connect in the circuit as series to the load and take the measurment...

Redraw the circuit of question 1, putting in an ammeter to measure the current through the resistors and a voltmeter to measure potential difference across the 12 Ω resistor. What would be the readings in the ammeter and the voltmeter?

Q. The resistance of a moving coil galvanometer is 15 Ohms. The maximum current it can measure is 0.015A. How would you convert it into:
(i) An ammeter to measure 1.5 A?
(ii) A voltmeter to measure 1.5 V?
