The other day I happened to open an ammeter just out of curiosity.
What I saw was that across the positive and negative terminals a wire of considerable thickness(almost equal to the thickness of wires we use for household joints) was wound..It just had 4 or 5 turns.
I guess it should be the shunt resistor (though it wasn't a "resistor" also there was no resistor in series )...but then the fact that the wire was wound brought to my mind a doubt whether inductance has any role to play in it ?
Am I right ?
