Extension of moving iron voltmeter

qImage65955ab0e1639f75076cef99

The range of a moving iron voltmeter can be extended by using a high value of multiplier resistance connected in series with a voltmeter.

\(R_{se}=R_m({V\over V_g}-1)\)

Additional Information

Extension of moving iron ammeter 

qImage65955aafe1639f75076cef90

The range of a moving iron ammeter can be extended by using a low value of shunt resistance connected in parallel with an ammeter.

\(R_{sh}(I-I_m)=R_mI_m\)

\(R_{sh}={R_mI_m\over (I-I_m)}\)

\(R_{sh}={R_m\over ({I\over I_m}-1)}\)

 

\(R_{sh}={R_m\over ({m}-1)}\)
