Question

what is the principle of a moving galvanometer ? How it can be converted into an ammeter ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by connecting a low resistance (called shunt) in parallel to galvanometer value of shunt is so adjusted that most of the current passes through the shunt. In this way a galvanometer is converted into ammeter and can measure heavy currents without fully deflected.

How a galvanometer is converted into ammeter?

When an electric current passes through the coil, it deflects. ... A galvanometer can detect only small currents. Thus, to measure large currents it is converted into an ammeter. It can be converted into an ammeter by connecting a low resistance called shunt resistance in parallel to the galvanometer
