A shunt resistor is a resistor that is connected in parallel with the circuit being measured. The purpose of the shunt resistor is to divert a portion of the current away from the voltmeter, so that the voltmeter does not overload. The amount of current that is diverted away from the voltmeter is determined by the value of the shunt resistor.
