What is the significance of voltmeter sensitivity expressed in ohms per volt?

• A. When used as a galvanometer, the reading in volts multiplied by the ohms per volt rating will determine the power drawn by the device under test
• B. When used as an ohmmeter, the reading in ohms divided by the ohms per volt rating will determine the voltage applied to the circuit
• C. The full scale reading of the voltmeter multiplied by its ohms per volt rating will indicate the input impedance of the voltmeter
• D. When used as an ammeter, the full scale reading in amps divided by ohms per volt rating will determine the size of shunt needed
