if we take resistance in parallel with ammeter then the range of ammeter will change.
Multi-range ammeter using universal shunt
A shunt is connected in parallel with an ammeter. Any current applied to parallel devices will divide betwen them, so the ammeter will pass only a part of the total current.
aryton shunt in a multirange ammeter is basically a bunch of resistors(shunt) connected together in parallel to the Dc ammeter and a selector switch in order to basically extend the range of the current...
dc ammeter has three connecting pins while ac has four
Micro ammeter has higher resistance. use ohm's law.. Say the voltage applied is 1 V. then for the ammeter.. I=1A, V=1V R=1 ohm for the micro ammeter.. I=0.000001, V=1V R=1000000 ohms
To increase the range of an ammeter, you connect a very low impedance resistor in parallel with the ammeter.
To convert a moving coil galvanometer into a multi-range ammeter, you can add shunt resistors of different values in parallel to the galvanometer. By selecting the appropriate shunt resistor, you can change the range of the ammeter. This allows the ammeter to measure a wide range of currents while still using the sensitive galvanometer as the measuring element.
HOW TO CONNECT AN AMMETER Always connect an ammeter in SERIES in a circuit. Always ensure that the ammeter has a higher reading range than the expected current load, including start-up spikes. An ammeter expected to read a steady current of 13A should have a max range of 20A.

A shunt is connected in parallel with an ammeter. Any current applied to parallel devices will divide betwen them, so the ammeter will pass only a part of the total current.
To connect an ammeter, you must place it in series with the circuit so that the current flows through the ammeter. To connect a voltmeter, you must place it in parallel with the component you are measuring the voltage across. Make sure to set the ammeter and voltmeter to the proper range before connecting them.
The voltage remains the same across the circuit as it is a parallel connection. So, the current across the upper half of the circuit where the ammeter is connected is calculated as I = V/R = 12.04 (total voltage)/12 (Resistance R1) = 1 A. Hence, the ammeter will read 1 A.
shunt resistances are used to increase the range of ammetes and moreover it is praticularly then we have to low value shunt resistance.

The scale division of an ammeter refers to the value each division represents on the scale of the meter. It is typically chosen based on the range and precision of the measurement required. For example, if an ammeter has a scale division of 0.1 A, each division on the scale represents 0.1 ampere.
if we would like to expand the range of voltmeter we should change the voltmeter resistance even to be appropriate . we should use a variable resistance to control of its value . I would extend the range of a voltmeter by adding resistance in series with it. I would extend the range of an ammeter by connecting resistance in paerallel with it.
yes it has an extended range.
