Physics Question on Current electricity

To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter, one needs to connect a

A

low resistance in parallel

B

high resistance in parallel

C

low resistance in series

D

high resistance in series

Answer

low resistance in parallel

Explanation

Solution

To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter, one needs to connect a low resistance in parallel so that maximum current passes through the shunt wire and ammeter remains protected.
