This topic is very important topic for class 12th board examination and for other competitive examination ( for medical and engineering entrance examinations )
Voltmeter-
It is high resistance galvanometer used to measure potential difference between two points of a conductor or circuit.
A galvanometer can be converted into voltmeter by connecting high value resistance in series with the galvanometer( as shown in figure).

Let, G is the resistance of the galvanometer,
IG is the current passes through the galvanometer,
R is the high value resistance in series with the galvanometer.
Let,
V is the potential difference of the galvanometer.
So we can write V = IG ( R + G)
Hence R =( V/IG)- G ;
Resistance of the voltmeter Rs = R + G ;
So we can say ,for ideal voltmeter the resistance of the voltmeter should be infinity.
This topic is very important for all state class 12th board examination and for other entrance examination , therefore it is important to solve the assignment of this topic .
In the assignment , we provide all kind of questions like , objective , short answer type, long answer type , numericals and hots . After solving the assignment of this chapter students will be able to improve there knowledge on this chapter.
