To use a milli - ammeter to measure current up to \(10 A\). what connection needs to be made?
A. A small resistance must be connected in series with the milli - ammeter B. A small resistance must be connected in parallel with the milli - ammeter C. A high resistance must be connected in parallel with the milli - ammeter D. The milli - ammeter must be disconnected from the circuit
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
We can use a milli - ammeter to measure up to \(10 A\) by connecting a suitable resistor in parallel with it. A resistor used for this purpose is known as a shunt. The shunt is a low resistance wire.
