What is shunt in ammeter?

A shunt in an ammeter is a low-resistance component placed in parallel with the meter's coil to allow a large portion of the current to bypass the coil. This prevents the ammeter from being damaged by high currents and enables it to measure higher currents accurately by translating the current into a smaller, measurable voltage drop across the shunt.

How to Calculate Shunt in Ammeter?
