MHT CET 2025 Physics question

If an ammeter is to be used in place of a galvanometer then we must connect

(A)low resistance in parallel.Correct
(B)high resistance in series.
(C)high resistance in parallel.
(D)low resistance in series.

Answer: (A)

Solution

A galvanometer can safely carry only a very small current, whereas an ammeter must measure large currents and have a very low total resistance. To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter, a small resistance (shunt) is connected in parallel with it, so that most of the current bypasses the coil; the
