Open in App
Solution

  1. A galvanometer is a device that is used to detect a small electric current or measure its magnitude
  2. The ideal galvanometer has zero resistance.
  3. If high resistance is connected in series with a galvanometer then it acts like a voltmeter.
  4. If low resistance is connected in parallel with a galvanometer then it acts like an ammeter.
  5. With the help of an ideal galvanometer, an ideal voltmeter or an ideal ammeter can be formed.
  6. The ideal galvanometer is highly sensitive.
  7. An ideal galvanometer gives high accuracy and reliability.
