$A$ galvanometer of resistance $G$ has a voltage range $V_g$. The resistance required to convert it to read voltage up to $V$ is

  • A
    $\frac{G \cdot V_g}{V}-G$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{G+V_g}{V}\right) \cdot G$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{V-V_g}{V}\right) \cdot G$
  • D
    $G \cdot \left[\frac{V}{V_g}-1\right]$
