How to Evaluate Multiplier Resistance in Ohmmeter?

Multiplier Resistance in Ohmmeter evaluator uses Multiplier Resistance = (Potential Difference/Electric Current)-Galvanometer Resistance to evaluate 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 Rmul symbol.
