A conductor having low resistance in parallel with another device to divert a fraction of the current. It is sometimes called a Resistor. The causative diversion of venous blood into oxygenated arterial blood and thus mixing is also a shunt. "shunting"

∙ 10y agoThere are small arteries that are on the surface of the heart. These bring oxygen to the heart muscle. These arteries are so important that they are the first arteries off the heart before the blood goes to the rest of the body. Some times these become narrowed and a shunt is put in one or more. This shunt "opens" the artery the size it should be. These arteries are called coronary arteries and a complete blockage will cause what we call a heart attack.

Can you fly if you have a shunt?
i heard u can fly on short journeys Yes, you can fly if you have a shunt, however the affects, as far as the pressurized cabin goes will depend on the type of shunt you have. I have a VP shunt in my head and have no trouble flying and I fly often, as I work for an airline.
What will happen if dc supply is given to shunt dc motor?
It will drawn a large amount of current which can destroy the shunt
If An ammeter shunt has a voltage drop of 50 mega volts when 50 Amps of current flows through it what is the resistance of the shunt?
R = E / I= (50 x 106) / (50)= 1 megohm.Strange for a "shunt". Must be across one heck of a meter movement !It looks like the question was misworded. Instead of 50 megavolts, perhaps it should have been 50 millivolts. In that case the meter/shunt impedance would have been 0.001 ohms. In any case, the actual value of the shunt resistor would depend on the impedance of the meter itself. In the latter (assumed) case, this is probably negligible, so the shunt does appear to be 0.001 ohms.

Does series field winding have more resistance or a shunt field winding?

What are the differences of Long shunt vs short shunt generator?
In long shunt the shunt field winding is in parallel to both generator and series field. In short shunt the shunt field is in parallel to generator only.
How do you use shunt in a sentence?
The word 'shunt' is both a noun (shunt, shunts) and a verb (shunt, shunts, shunting, shunted).Examples:He had to have a heart shunt put in. (noun)The engineer will shunt the train onto that track instead. (verb)

What is called when a child has value shunt caused of water in the brain?
The shunt used for a person who has hydrocephalus ("water on the brain") is not called a "value shunt". It is usually called a "ventriculo-peritoneal shunt" or "VP shunt" for short. Sometimes a "ventriculo-atrial shunt" or "VA shunt" is used instead.
