Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A galvanometer which is used for the measurement of a very small current can be converted to a voltmeter when it is connected to a high resistance or a multiplier is a series. The purpose of this is to reduce the amount of current that goes through the galvanometer so as prevent full scale deflection.
