8.4 Shunt Resistor
It is a way to measure current through a bath in the circuit using a small value resistor, we cut the
circuit and connect it again using the shunt resistor. In most cases, it should be a high power resistor to
handle the current passing through it.
So depending on ohm’s law “ ”, we have a shunt resistor, and we have a current passing
𝑉 = 𝐼 · 𝑅
through it, so the voltage will be generated around it. And then we will measure this voltage using the
multimeter, this way we have converted the current into voltage.
