How can we convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter?

  • A
    By connecting a high resistance in series with the galvanometer.
  • B
    By connecting a low resistance in series with the galvanometer.
  • C
    By connecting a high resistance in parallel with the galvanometer.
  • D
    By connecting a low resistance in parallel with the galvanometer.
