Electric Current 04

This document discusses electrical instruments like galvanometers, their operation, and how to convert them into ammeters and voltmeters. It provides information on: 1) How galvanometers work and are represented in electrical circuits. 2) The process of converting a galvanometer into an ammeter by connecting a small shunt resistor in parallel to lower the resistance. 3) Converting a galvanometer into a voltmeter by connecting a large series resistor to allow only a small current through the galvanometer.
