Galvanometer coil resistance (Rg)= 14 Ω
Full scale deflection current (ig) = 4 mA or (0.004 A)
Voltmeter range (V) = 16 V
Concept:
For converting a galvanometer into a voltmeter, we connect a high resistance in series with the galvanometer coil.
The voltmeter is then connected in parallel across the terminals for which potential difference is to be measured.
Formula:
ig(R + Rg) = V
⇒ R = V/ig - Rg
Calculation:
R = (16/0.004 - 14)
⇒ R = 4000 - 14
= 3986 Ω
