Voltmeter Multiplier Calculation

The resistance RS to be connected in series with a voltmeter of full scale voltage VV and full scale current drain IV to increase the full scale voltage to V is:
RS = (V - VV) / IV

The power P dissipated by the resistance RS with voltage drop (V - VV) carrying current IV is:
P = (V - VV)2 / RS = (V - VV)IV = IV2RS
