What causes the loops of wire and the pointer to move in a galvanometer?

The electromagnet's coil is attached to a pointer. When a current is in the electromagnet's coil, a magnetic field is produced. This field interacts with the permanent magnet's field, causing the loops of wire and pointer to rotate.


What is the actual error percentage in calibration of voltmeter?

An ordinary voltmeter would be expected to have an accuracy of about 1%.Even then, if it were an analog meter, one should check the balance of the pointer; along its pointer axis, and perpendicular to that. Indeed, this is the reason that an analog meter should be used with the scale plate horizontal if possible.To check the balance of the needle assembly, hold the meter up so that its scale plate is vertical. Then check the balance of the pointer as above, in both vertical and horizontal attitudes.To do better than this, with either an analog or a digital instrument, you will need access to a set of standardized voltages, and some more elaborate equipment.


Energy is done when a force causes an object to move?

Work is done when force causes an object to move and capacity of doing work is called energy So, energy is required and consumed when force causes an object to move


What causes an error in reading an ammeter?

Main error is not using a mirror scale properly so the needle can appear to be in a different place. The idea is that if you look directly at the needle from the front, you will not see a reflection in the mirror as the reflection would be directly behind it. If you CAN see a reflection to the left or right, you are going to misread. Some meters have a twisted pointer instead of a mirror scale - look on properly the pointer is very thin, read from the side it is thick. Other errors might be using a "scaled" meter without the correct current transformer (used on very high current readings), a damaged (usually through overload) spring, coil, not setting the meter to zero, using a DC only meter to read AC etc etc

What does electromagnetism have to do with galvanometer?

A galvanometer is a simple meter that detects the flow of current. A current flowing in a wire causes magnetism around the wire. This is called electromagnetism. Like poles of a magnet repel and opposites attract. The Galvanometer uses these principles in order to move a pointer across a scale.
