What is the effect of introducing a shunt resistance in parallel with a galvanometer?
A
It converts the galvanometer into an ammeter.
B
It increases the galvanometer's sensitivity.
C
It decreases the galvanometer's range.
D
It measures voltage instead of current.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Introducing a shunt resistance of very small value in parallel with a galvanometer converts it into an ammeter, allowing for the measurement of larger currents.
