Which of the following is used to convert a galvanometer into an ammeter?
ALow resistance in parallel
BHigh resistance in parallel
CLow resistance in series
DHigh resistance in series
✓ Correct Answer: A — Low resistance in parallel
A low resistance (shunt) is connected in parallel to allow most of the current to bypass the sensitive galvanometer coil.
