A low-resistance device used to conduct most circuit current away from the meter movement is a n ammeter _____.
A) spike
B) shunt
C) resistor
D) limiter

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A shunt is a low-resistance device used in parallel with a meter movement in an ammeter to bypass most of the current. This allows the meter to measure high currents by only letting a small, manageable amount of current flow through the meter movement itself.
