To use the galvanometer as an ammeter, what additional component should be connected, and how should it be connected?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
To use a galvanometer as an ammeter, a low-resistance, known as a shunt resistor, must be connected in parallel with the galvanometer. This allows most of the current to bypass the galvanometer, preventing it from being damaged by the high currents it is measuring.
