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.
