Using a shunt is simple. Just select a shunt resistor of a known resistance, measure the voltage drop across the shunt, and use Ohm’s law to calculate the current.

Current often is derived from the voltage drop measured across a shunt of known value. However, as the paper states, “It is common practice for current shunts to be calibrated at a single ...
