State the functions of the series resistance in modifying a galvanometer into a voltmeter.

Answer»

Functions of the series, resistance: 

1. It increases the effective resistance of the voltmeter. 

2. It drops off a larger fraction of the measured potential difference thus protecting the sensitive meter movement of the basic galvanometer.

3. With resistance of proper value, a galvanometer can be modified to a voltmeter of desired range. .
