Multiplier Resistance in Ohmmeter Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Multiplier Resistance = (Potential Difference/Electric Current)-Galvanometer Resistance
R_mul = (V/I)-R_gal
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Multiplier Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Multiplier Resistance is the resistance of series resistor which is used for increasing working range of the meter.
Potential Difference - (Measured in Volt) - Potential Difference also known as voltage, is the external work needed to bring a charge from one location to another location in an electric field.
Electric Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Electric Current refers to the flow of electric charge through a conducting medium such as a wire or a circuit.
Galvanometer Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Galvanometer Resistance refers to the opposition offered by the galvanometer to the current passing through it.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Potential Difference: 18 Volt --> 18 Volt No Conversion Required
