Answer: shunt is a low resistance wire which is joined in parallel to the the coil of galvanometer in order to protect the coil of galvanometer from damage.
Uses:-
1.shunt is used to convert a galvanometer into ammeter by joined it parallel to the galvanometer.
2. Shunt can also be used in to convert galvanometer into voltmeter by joining it in series with galvanometer.
