A voltmeter is a high resistance galvanometer and is connected in parallel to circuit and ammeter
is a low resistance galvanometer so if we connect high resistance in series with ammeter its
resistance will be much high.

since Resistance of voltmeter is very high and resistance of ammeter is less , so when we replace voltmeter with ammeter we coonect very high resistance in series to protect ammeter
