A(n) ____ is a low-resistance device used to conduct most of the circuit current away from the meter movement.
A) voltage shunt
B) ammeter shunt
C) wattage shunt
D) voltage rectifier

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An ammeter shunt is a low-resistance device used to conduct most of the circuit current away from the meter movement, allowing only a small fraction of the current to pass through the meter for measurement. This allows the ammeter to measure larger currents than it would be able to handle otherwise. Options A, C, and D are not correct because they do not refer to a device used to conduct current away from a meter movement.
