What effect does adding a shunt resistance of very small value in parallel with a galvanometer have on its measurement capabilities?
A
Increases the current sensitivity
B
Converts it into an ammeter
C
Converts it into a voltmeter
D
Decreases the voltage sensitivity
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
