A voltmeter has a range 0-V with a series resistance R. With a series resistance 2R, the range is 0-V'. The correct relation between V and V' is :

1. $V^{\text{'}}=2V$

2. $V^{\text{'}}>2V$

3. $V^{\text{'}}>>2V$

4. $V\text{'}<2V$

If an ammeter is to be used in place of a voltmeter then we must connect with the ammeter a :

1. Low resistance in parallel

2. High resistance in parallel

3. High resistance in series

4. Low resistance in series

A galvanometer, having a resistance of 50 Ω gives a full scale deflection for a current of 0.05 A.
