text: Moving Coil Galvanometer is converted into ammeter by connecting a low resistance in parallel with the galvanometer, that low resistance called s shunt resistance.
text: When the ammeter resistance is low, almost all the current in the circuit is allowed to pass through the ammeter.
text: Since S is low resistance, resistance of ammeter R A is very low and when it is connected in series in the circuits, it will not affect the current passing through the circuit.
text: Hence to convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter a suitable high resistance is connected in series with the galvanometer, as resistance of a galvanometer, is very low .
text: The resistance of the ammeter is low.
text: Whereas, the internal resistance of the voltmeter is very low so that the current from the circuit does not disturb the measuring of the voltmeter.
text: When the ammeter resistance is low, almost all the current in the circuit is allowed to pass through the ammeter.
text: As the internal resistance is considered to be very low, we assume it as 0Ω.
text: Second, the resistance of a galvanometer is low.
text: Because the resistance of the galvanometer is so low, it acts essentially like a short (an ordinary wire) in the circuit.
