alleryA galvanometer can be CONVERTED to an ammeter by:
ARemoving the galvanometer
BConnecting a low resistance (shunt) in PARALLEL
CReversing the wire
DConnecting a high resistance in series
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Connecting a low resistance (shunt) in PARALLEL
A low-resistance shunt connected in parallel diverts most current, allowing the galvanometer to measure large currents.
Shunt resistance S = I_g G / (I - I_g).
