    The voltage range of a current meter can be extended by adding?
    Question

    The voltage range of a current meter can be extended by adding?

    A.

    an inductor in series with the meter coil

    B.

    a capacitor in series with the meter coil

    C.

    a multiplier resistance in series with the meter coil

    D.

    can not be extended

    Correct option is C


    A current meter (ammeter) is generally designed to measure small currents. To convert it into a voltmeter and extend its voltage range, a multiplier resistance is added in series with the meter coil. This resistance limits the current flowing through the meter coil, allowing it to measure higher voltages without damaging the meter.
