OpenStudy (gorv):
ammeter is used in series to measure the current flow in a particular circuit. It must provide a path for the entire current. It would be difficult to develop a meter that would handle significant amounts of current. With that in mind, the ammeter uses a shunt to allow some of the current to travel through a course parallel to the meter. If the shunt malfunctions, it is likely the meter will not be able to handle the current.
OpenStudy (perl):
