Given information
Given, a galvanometer has a resistance, 
The current flowing through the galvanometer, 
The current in the ammeter, 
.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Here we require a shunt resistor so that the ammeter has a maximum deflection when the current down the shunt is 
.
The rest of the current goes down the parallel path with resistor R.
Let 
be the current flowing through internal resistance 
and 
be the current flowing through Shunt resistor R.
A shunt resistance has to be connected parallel to the galvanometer, in order to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter.
