Permanent Magnet Moving Coil (PMMC)
Instruments
Fig. 12: An Ayrton shunt used with an ammeter consists of several series-
connected resistors all connected in parallel with the PMMC instrument.
Range change is effected by switching between the resistor junctions

DC VOLTMETERS
Fig. 16: An adjustable resistor (R2) connected in parallel with the meter
provides an ohmmeter zero control. The ohmmeter terminals are
initially short-circuited and the zero control is adjusted to give zero-
ohms reading. This eliminates errors due to variations in the battery
voltage.
