Which of the following is not the use of a shunt?
- A To prevent a galvanometer from being damaged due to a large current
- B To increase the range of voltmeter
- C To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter
- D To increase the range of an ammeter
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) To increase the range of voltmeter
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
What a Shunt is: A shunt is a low-resistance wire connected in parallel with a galvanometer or ammeter. It bypasses the majority of the current, protecting the sensitive device and allowing for higher current measurements (converting it to an ammeter). Why B is incorrect: To…
