Q. The range of DC ammeter can be increased by using

A
Series resistor
B
Series Inductor
C
Shunt resistor
D
Parallel Capacitor
Solution:

The purpose of shunt resistor is to divert the high current from flowing into the ammeter winding . Thus a low resistance shunt is used to increase the range of an ammeter which protects the highly sensitive ammeter winding from high values of current.
