In an ammeter the shunt resistance is connected in parallel with the galvanometer. why it is not connected in series?

Hi
hi
Just imagine if it is connected in series, the resistance will be so high that current will not be able to pass through the ammeter at all! How will it measure the current then?

Since Galvanometer is a very sensitive instrument therefore it can't measure heavy currents. In order to convert aGalvanometer into an Ammeter, a very low resistance known as "shunt"resistance is connected in parallel toGalvanometer. Value of shunt is so adjusted that most of the current passes through the shunt.
