Any galva-nometer (ammeter- or voltmeter) may, therefore, have itsrange of indication increased by shunting it.Let G = galvanometer resistance;S = shunt resistance;C = total current in the joint circuit;Cg = currrent in the galvanometer circuit.The multiplying power of a shunt is the… … -A Shunted Galva-nometer. of the resistances, GC Thus or S, bears to the shunt resistance.G4-S Cgf S S 1.
