Briefly explain why and how a galvanometer is converted into an ammeter.
Briefly explain why and how a galvanometer is converted into an ammeter.
Marking-scheme solution
Due to very high sensitivity
AlternativelyIt has large resistance and hence will change the value of current in circuit.A galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter of desired range by connecting a shunt of proper value across its coil.
