I recall designing circuits for analog meters with current shunt resistors. In the last thirty years my measurements are all done by measuring voltag e across series resistor. Is this resistor still referred to as a "shunt"? Even though it is no longer shunting current around a current meter, obso lete terminology often remains. An example is calling the AC-DC power supp ly in an LED replacement for a fluorescent lamp a "ballast".
Do you refer to the series current sense resistor a "shunt"?
