Conversion of Galvanometer into Voltmeter

I am sharing a method of converting a galvanometer into a voltmeter of range 0 to 3 volts. I performed

this experiment in university lab.

The purpose of sharing this experiment process is to help fellow students for preparation of their
Physics lab manuals.

Keep reading this post for circuit diagrams and full range of all the values and tables. This experiment
was performed in the Campus Physics lab.

Experiment # 2

Converting Galvanometer into Voltmeter of Range 0 – 3 Volts

Apparatus: Galvanometer, High Resistance Box (HRB), power supply, two one way keys, volt meter (0 –
3 volts), rheostat, connecting wires and sand paper.
Procedure:
1. First of all I found the resistance of Galvanometer (RG) by half deflection method.
2. Then I made the complete circuit, as shown in the diagram, by connecting
Galvanometer, HRB, and Keys with the help of connecting wires.
3. I connected the circuit to the DC power supply through key K1.
4. I adjusted the resistance (R) of HRB in such a way that there were deflections of 30
divisions in galvanometer.
5. Then measured the ‘emf’ of the power supply with volt meter to know the merit of
Galvanometer (K).
6. I adjusted the resistance (R) of HRB in such a way that there were deflections of 28, 26
and 20 divisions in galvanometer to find the mean value of merit of galvanometer.
7. The difference between calculated value of voltage measured by converted
Galvanometer and that measured by volt meter was near to 0.
8. Found the least count of both meters by dividing their Range by Total number of
divisions.

Observations and Calculations:

For Merit of Galvanometer (K)

We have Resistance of Galvanometer (RG) is 135 Ω from Experiment 1

For verification of converted Galvanometer:
 Least count of Galvanometer = 30/10 = 0.1
 Least count of Voltmeter = 30/10 = 0.1

This is how to Convert Galvanometer into Voltmeter.
