Decreasing the resistance of an ammeter's shunt resistance
A)allows it to measure a larger current at full scale deflection.
B)allows it to measure a smaller current at full scale deflection.
C)enables more current to pass directly through the galvanometer.
D)converts it to a voltmeter.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decreasing the shunt resistance allows more current to bypass the galvanometer, enabling the ammeter to measure larger currents without exceeding full scale deflection.
