text: This is partly because the change in deflection itself is small when the resistance measured is too small in proportion to the intrinsic resistance of the ohmmeter (which can be dealt with through current division), but mostly because the meter's reading is the sum of the resistance of the measuring leads, the contact resistances and the resistance being measured.
text: The resistance of the ammeter is very small as compared voltmeter.
text: Clearly, if the full-scale-deflection current is much less than the maximum current which we wish to measure then the equivalent resistance is very small indeed.
text: Normally, the ammeter’s resistance is very small compared with the resistances of the devices in the circuit, and so the extra resistance is negligible.
text: The galvanometer itself has only a small resistance, perhaps 10 Ω ., and it gives a full scale reading when the voltage across it is 1 mV.
