Conversion of galvanometer into voltmeter | Moving charges & magnetism | Physics | Khan Academy

To convert a moving coil galvanometer to a voltmeter, we add a high series resistance, but why?.
The high resistance causes most of the voltage to drop across it, leaving a small voltage drop across the galvanometer.
This also ends up making the voltmeter have very high resistance. Ideal voltmeters have infinite resistance.

this is so cool. i admire your way of teaching. so different from conventional classroom teaching, you really know how to cement the idea inside a student's mind. i love how you add a storyline to each concept and make it more interesting, kudos to you ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻

[mansimahajan]

The only teacher who delivers logic is Mahesh sir and the rest of them r busy focusing on the learning of u sir for making us understand the core concepts rather than emphasizing on the craming of formulae...u r the best teacher ever❤️❤️...and i wish, i had found u earlier....anyways may god bless u sir with all the happiness and success in ur life... thank u once again sir for helping millions of students like me🙏😍

Mind=blown
Bhai this guy is the best one I've ever come across since Tyler DeWitt and Alakh sir

[smellymomo]

I love your balance between being entertaining and also teaching.

[mrunalimmehta]

Sir you explain so well that i understand very easily

[shubhanksingh]

Even walter lewin will give you big salute man. The way teaches Physics is unbelievable, uncomaprable, fantastic.

For me you made me fall in love with Physics. ❤️ U Mahesh

[Prayashgamerz]

I just don't know why many people see your videos these are awesome .

Reason : they don't need concept they need short tricks and formulae

10:18 wow, nice that annotations can be controlled too (opacity here for example)

[ashmeetsidhu]

Well, I just checked the price of a new voltmeter. It'll just cost under Rs.200. So, I don't think *my friend* would be willing to spend 300 rupees to lose her old galvanometer and get a *renewed* voltmeter 😂😂 Btw, gr8 video 👍🏻

Our man giving us commerce advice along with a physics

if I had a teacher like Mahesh sir, I would have been the next einstein. These brainwashing institutions killed my passion and interest towards physics

[Gaammee_Media]

My Teacher also Explained well but interrupted by time. I was interested in the topic so I searched this on YouTube and boom 🔥 🔥🔥 you made me fall in Love with.

Big Respect From Ethiopia 🇪🇹

I seriously thought I won't get the concepts of conversion of Galvanometer into ammeter and voltmeter..cause I tried so many videos.. literally shaking me up with those terrible formulas😂 and then suddenly Khan academy striked to my mind to be presise, recommended by YouTube..I was like..I was such a stupid to scroll too much when I knew Khan academy has it all.. THANKYOU SO MUCH SIR FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE..!! 😊

[thanaa]

This was truly truly enjoyable it's the first time I smile on a physics video

[tubeboss]

Nobody tells the inside story, how actually things works. I know 100s of postgraduate teachers who don't know how this stuff actually works, but teaches it mechanically.

[aulliesaxena]

Sir you made this so easy for us to understand 😊😊😊😊☺️

[varshinilolla]

Thanks mahesh shenoy!
Such a cool physics teacher.
I never thought it would help even for my entrance exams, but I realised that developing intuition is above everything.

I have been following your channel since an year after getting to know your khan academy tutorials!

[amruthaailukunje]

I love all of ur video about construction and working u explain those concept very vell especially related to magnetism

[Piyushks]

OMG .. It's Mahesh from "FloatHeadPhysics"

[ankurkmmishra]

Thank you so much sir ❤ i m watching this before 3 hour from my physics preboard exams 😂
