Answer:

A galvanometer is converted into an ammeter by connecting a low resistance in parallel with the galvanometer.

Step-by-step explanation:

This low resistance is called shunt resistance S. The scale is now calibrated in ampere and the range of the ammeter depends on the values of the shunt resistance.
