—Suppose we desireto measure currents of from one to i,ooo amperes. Thiswould require a set of five tangent galvanometers of differ-ent sizes, the three largest of which would be impracticable.(The diameter of the largest would be about seventy-fivefeet.) With the sine or cosine galvanometers or… … A a Fig. 2.^loreover, none of these could be used near dynamos andthis means that we must lead the whole of the current wewish to measure perhaps a considerable distance, thusentailing expense for wire and perhaps leakage. Suppose we make one shunt of resistance ooi w. If ofGerman silver 9 inches…
