Physics - Current Electricity Question with Solution | TestHub

An ammeter is a device used to measure current and is connected in series in a circuit. To ensure it does not significantly alter the current being measured, its effective resistance must be very low.

A galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by connecting a low resistance, called a shunt, in parallel with it. This allows the majority of the current to bypass the galvanometer coil, preventing damage and enabling the measurement of larger currents.

Answer: low resistance in parallel.
