To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter
- A a very small resistance is added in series with the galvanometer
- B a high resistance is added in series with the galvanometer
- C a very small resistance is added in parallel with the galvanometer
- D a high resistance is added in parallel with the galvanometer
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) a very small resistance is added in parallel with the galvanometer
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter, a low resistance (called a shunt) is connected in parallel. This bypasses the majority of the current, protecting the delicate galvanometer coil while allowing the device to measure high current values. C) a very small resistance is…
