Solution
To convert a galvanometer to a voltmeter, a
A
high resistance is connected to it in series
B
high resistance is connected to it in parallel
C
low resistance is connected to it in parallel
D
low resistance is connected to it in series
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
To convert a galvanometer (which measures current) into a voltmeter (which measures voltage), a high resistance is connected in series with the galvanometer. This limits the current flowing through the galvanometer, allowing it to measure higher voltages without exceeding its maximum current rating.

Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
First let's find z
z = \(\frac{M}{It}\)
z = \(\frac{1.8}{2.5 \times (3 \times 60 \times 60)}\)
Therefore, the new M equals
M = zIt
M = \(\frac{1.8 \times 4 \times 4.8 \times 60 \times 60}{2.5 \times 3 \times 60 \times 60}\)
M = 4.6g
