ANSWER

Shunt is a low resistance connected in parallel with the galvanometer or ammeter.

If the current flowing in a circuit is strong, a galvanometer or an ammeter cannot be put directly in it because the instrument may be damaged. To overcome this difficulty, a low resistance (ie, shunt) is connected in parallel with this instrument. Then a major portion of the current passes through this low resistance (ie, shunt) and only a small portion passes through the instrument. Due to it, the galvanometer or an ammeter remains safe.
