B) small resistance in parallel.
C) large resistance in parallel.
D) small resistance in series.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by adding a small resistance (known as a shunt) in parallel with it. This allows the majority of the current to bypass the galvanometer, enabling it to measure higher currents without being damaged.
