A galvanometer in series with a high resistance is called_______________?
Correct answer: B. A voltmeter
- A. An ammeter
- B. A voltmeter
- C. A wattmeter
- D. None of the above
Explanation
A galvanometer in series with a high resistance allows only a small current proportional to the applied voltage, forming a voltmeter. An ammeter instead uses a low-resistance shunt connected across the galvanometer.
