4.27 Resistance of the galvanometer coil, G = 12 Ω
Current for which there is full scale deflection, = 3 mA = 3 A
Range of voltmeter = 0, to be converted to 18 V, hence V = 18 V
Let there be a resistor R connected in series with the galvanometer to convert it into a voltmeter. R is given as
R = - G = - 12 = 5988 Ω
Hence the required value of resistor is 5988 Ω
