Question

What is a ammeter shunt?

Open in App

Solution

Galvanometer: A galvanometer is an electromechanical measuring instrument for electric current.
When a low resistance is connected to a galvanometer parallelly it converts to the ammeter.
This resistor is connected parallelly to move most current to in the shunting arm.
This is called an ammeter shunt.
