1.	Can we use galvanometer as a voltmeter ? Give reason for your answer.
Answer» Voltmeter is an electrical measuring device, which is used to measure potential difference between two points in a circuit. Voltmeter is always connected in parallel to a circuit.Since Galvanometer is a very sensitive instrument, therefore it can not measure high potential difference. In order to convert a Galvanometer into voltmeter,\xa0a very high resistance known as "series resistance" is connected in series with the galvanometer.
