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

Answer:
Heya mate ☺
So we connect a resistor in parallel to the galvanometer to measure heavy currents and is called an Ammeter. The effective resistance when connected in paralle is low. The value of the shunt resistor can be adjusted to measure the higher currents. ... This way galvanometer can be used to measure high currents.
