What do Hans Christian Oersted's experiments have to do with a galvanometer?

Hans Christian Oersted studied and experimented on the field of electromagnetism.Electromagnetism is the interaction between electricity and magnetism. From his experiments, Oersted concluded that an electric current produces a magnetic field. The galvanometer measures electric currents and magnetism. (So basically he was the very first person to come up with the idea of a galvanometer.) Hope this helped........


who discovered that magnetism and electricity related?

A notable series of investigations of the relationship between electricity and magnetism was conducted almost in parallel in England by Michael Faraday and in America by Joseph Henry. Both Faraday and Henry discovered the principle of the dynamo in 1830-31, for example. Although they independently discovered many of the same connections and devices, Faraday's work was to have the greater theoretical impact while Henry's had more immediate practical application.
