A voltmeter is obtained by connecting a high resistance in series with the galvanometer, and these voltage-dropping, series-connected resistors are known as ____.
A)Aryton shunts
B)additions
C)multipliers
D)droppers

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resistors used in series with a galvanometer to create a voltmeter are known as multipliers because they multiply the voltage being measured to a higher value that can be read on the galvanometer scale. Aryton shunts are used in parallel with the galvanometer to create an ammeter, additions and droppers are not common terms used in relation to voltmeters.
