### Explanation of question 5

A shunt is a resistor connected in

1. parallel with an instrument to extend its current range
2. parallel with an instrument to extend its voltage range
3. series with an instrument to extend its current range
4. series with an instrument to extend its voltage range

The answer is :- 1 Shunts and multipliers are resistors accurately made to a precise value. A shunt is connected across (in parallel with) the instrument to extend its current range.
