Voltmeters, Ammeters, Galvanometers, and Shunt Resistors - DC Circuits Physics Problems

This physics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into ammeters and voltmeters. Ammeters measure the electric current flowing in a circuit in amps and voltmeters measure the voltage across an element in volts. To use an ammeter, you should connect it in series with the circuit since the internal resistance of an ammeter is very close to zero. To use a voltmeter, you should connect it in parallel to the element or device of which you wish to measure the voltage across. Voltmeters have an internal resistance that is very high ideally near to infinity. This video contains examples and practice problems of calculating the shunt resistance needed to convert a galvanometer into an ammeter and into a voltmeter.

This guy has a special place in heaven, reserved specifically for him

I FIND YOUR VIDEOS WHEM I WAS VERY LOST IN SEARCHING ABOUT A TOPIC
YOU HELP ME TO GIVE ANOTHER CHANCE OF LIFE INSTEAD OF SUCIDAL THOUGHTS
THANKS MAN. YOU SAVED ME ANOTHER DAY.

[H.A..]

Thank you, very accurate and straight to the point with no detail spared. I looked at a few university websites before watching your video and they managed to twist and mess up the information so much that I ended up more confused than before, and I was just trying to refresh my mind not even learn it for the first time. Keep up the great work!

As soon as I start earning, I'm sending you a huge amount of cash, the concepts you've helped me understand bro is insane, I appreciate 😀

[amirachennouf]

Another simplified brilliant video. Thank you !

[gloryikuku]

This guy is not human. He must be an angel or spirit because he is one of the few online tutors I have never seen on video.

[ShonKinsley]

Another brilliant and great video, thank you again

[cuckoobeats]

this video cleared all my doubts on this topic...thank you so much🤠

[PowNyTales]

Thank you for keeping it simple and greate explanation! Especially was really usfull to show, which parts the Ammeter is made of (you framed it with blue colour in your vid). Perfect!
Like! Regards from Germany :)

[michaeldiliza]

i've been watching your video are very useful, your the best sir

[omerjameel]

You are a real life saver thank you very much

[Callmeromain]

You did not explain what a galvanometer is before the first problem

[fridayumoetor]

Hello, it would be nice if you can add textbook references so we'd check out.

🤔 This would aid personal studies somehow.

[muhammedsallah]

I like your vedios thanks a lot. Is there any practical vedios related to this topic?

[christophervillota]

Bro i seriously love you. Thanks <3

[nxxpluto]

I’m not sure if my textbook is outdated but in it says that the ammeter is attached parallel to the galvanometer and that the voltmeter is attached in series with it so I’m now even more confused

[muhafijnaikawadi]

You are the genius. My problem is solved

[xZero_.]

Bro my physics teacher explained all this in 3 lessons

[ranavantaepurple]

Can you please make a video on ohmmeter?

[krishanu]

sir, why resistance is zero in series& infinity in parallel
