CONVERSION OF A GALVANOMETER INTO AN AMMETER-NUMERICAL

TABLE OF CONTENTS:

NUMERICAL BASED ON GALVANOMETER

Galvanometer is an instrument which is used to detect and measure small electric current in an electrical circuit.These galvanometers are used in the meter bridges and potentiometers where they indicate the null deflection or zero current .The galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter or voltmeter.Here, the numericals based on conversion of galvanometer into an ammeter is discussed.
