The function of shunt in an ammeter is to______________?
Correct answer: A. by pass the current
- A. by pass the current
- B. increase the sensitivity of the ammeter
- C. increase the resistance of ammeter
- D. none of the above
Explanation
An ammeter shunt is a low-resistance parallel path that bypasses most of the current around the meter movement. It therefore protects the movement and extends the current range rather than increasing the meter resistance.
