ammeter

If the galvanometer measures the current, and most of the current goes through the shunt resistance branch, how dpes the galvanometer show all the current in the wire?

Naah mate.. Actually A small resistance, about 1/9th of the resistance of Galvanometer(commonly known as shunt)is connected in parallel to it to make a Ammeter.. Hence the parallel connection lowers overall resistance, and hence, nearly all of the current flows through the shunt resistance and can provide accurate measurements
