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

What is multiplier in measurement?

A multiplier is basically a non-inductive, high resistance that is used to extend the range of a D.C. voltmeter. Multiplier consists of a low range D.C. voltmeter connected in series with it.

How to Calculate Multiplier Resistance in Ohmmeter?

Multiplier Resistance in Ohmmeter calculator uses Multiplier Resistance = (Potential Difference/Electric Current)-Galvanometer Resistance to calculate the Multiplier Resistance, The Multiplier Resistance in Ohmmeter is the series resistor and it is called a “multiplier” resistor because it multiplies the working range of the meter movement as it proportionately divides the measured voltage across it. Multiplier Resistance is denoted by R_mul symbol.

How to calculate Multiplier Resistance in Ohmmeter using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Multiplier Resistance in Ohmmeter, enter Potential Difference (V), Electric Current (I) & Galvanometer Resistance (R_gal) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Multiplier Resistance in Ohmmeter calculation can be explained with given input values -> 4.321429 = (18/2.1)-4.25.
