- PROCEDURE: I drew circuit diagram and made tight connections according to diagram. I connected H.R.B, battery, key K, and galvanometer in series which forms a loop. Then I connected F.R.B along with K₂ in parallel to galvanometer. I closed K₁ and opened K₂. I plug out suitable resistance from H.R.B and obtained even number deflection on galvanometer. Now I also closed K, and observed that deflection on galvanometer becomes zero. Then I plug out shunt resistance S from F.R.B which makes deflection on galvanometer half. 1 calculated resistance of galvanometer by formula G= RS/R-S

- RESULT: In order to convert the galvanometer into voltmeter reading up to 3.0 volts, a high resistance R = 9524 ohms must be connected in series with the galvanometer.
- PRECAUTIONS :All the connections should be neat and tight.
- The positive marked terminal of standard voltmeter should go to the positive terminal of the battery.
- Both voltmeter i.e standard voltmeter and converted galvanometer should be connected parallel with the resistance box.
- Suitable resistance should be taken out from the resistance box to produce large deflection in both voltmeters.
- The rheostat used as potential divider should not have low resistance.
- (Note: If the difference between the readings of converted galvanometer and voltmeter is large we should adjust the value of external resistance in the resistance box placed in series with the galvanometer unless the readings coincide.)
