Want this question answered?
A galvanometer is used to test an electrical current. A galvanometer can be made using a compass and a thin gauge of wire.
Ohms are the unit of measurement for resistance, so an ohmmeter is a device that measures electrical resistance. A galvanometer measures the current flowing through the resistance, so the two are related. To convert a galvanometer into an ohmmeter, one needs an external battery.
We can find it by using wheatstone bridge.
What is the difference between the construction of a moving coil galvanometer and a ballistic galvanometer?
Its a point on the galvanometer where the galvanometer shows no deflection as no current passes through it.
a galvanometer.
The current is reversed in a galvanometer
because in tangent galvanometer earth magnetic field and magnetic field of magnet inside galvanometer are perpendicular to each other
By attaching a resistance in parallel connection with the galvanometer. Or when a low resistor connected in parallel with galvanometer ,the galvanometer is converted in ammeter. and the resistor is called shunt resistance.
The weston type galvanometer is a moving coil galvanometer in which a pointer is attached to the coil for measuring deflection due to torque .
A sensitive galvanometer cannot be stable. Explain Why?
application of Ballistic Galvanometer 1) measurements of electric charges
