Q. Two identical galvanometers are taken, one is to be converted into an ammeter and other into a milliammeter. Shunt of milliammeter compared to ammeter is

Solution:

The shunt of millimeter will be of larger resistance, because a large part of the main current will pass through the coil of the galvanometer which will work as a smaller range ammeter.
