5: Voltmeters
A voltmeter measures the voltage across a circuit element and therefore is put in parallel with that
element. We can construct a voltmeter by placing a large resistor in series with the galvanometer, which is
(an ammeter symbol) in the circuit because a galvanometer and an ammeter are
indicated by
essentially the same (see Exploration 30.4).
In this example the galvanometer shows a full-scale
indication at a current of 1
A and the internal resistance of the galvanometer is 0.2 .
a.
If we want to measure battery voltages of up to 2 V, we'd want the galvanometer needle to give a full-scale
indication at this voltage. This means that 0.2 V must drop across the galvanometer (with a current of 1
A) while 1.9999998 V must drop across the series resistor. Restart.
b.
Calculate the value of the series resistor required to produce a full scale reading when the input voltage
is 2 V. Test to see if you get the appropriate reading for a range of battery voltages. (Use the set values
button.) Specifically, check that, for a battery voltage of 1 V, you get a half-scale reading on the
indicator bar.

Jika kita ingin mengukur tegangan baterai hingga 2 V, kami ingin jarum
galvanometer untuk memberikan indikasi skala penuh pada tegangan ini. Ini
berarti bahwa 0,2 V harus drop di galvanometer (dengan arus dari 1
A) sementara 1.9999998 V harus drop di resistor seri. Mengulang Kembali.
b. Menghitung nilai resistor seri diperlukan untuk menghasilkan pembacaan
skala penuh ketika tegangan input 2 V. Uji untuk melihat apakah Anda
mendapatkan bacaan yang sesuai untuk berbagai tegangan baterai. (Gunakan
nilai set tombol.) Secara khusus, periksa, untuk tegangan baterai dari 1
V, Anda mendapatkan membaca setengah skala di bar indikator.
