The galvanometer is very sensitive.
forcing a constant current and measuring the voltage across the unknown resistor.
Since Galvanometer is a very sensitive instrument therefore it can't measure heavy currents. In order to convert a Galvanometer into an Ammeter, a very low resistance known as "shunt" resistance is connected in parallel to Galvanometer. Value of shunt is so adjusted that most of the current passes through the shunt. In this way a Galvanometer is converted into Ammeter and can measure heavy currents without fully deflected.
Well, darling, a galvanometer is a device used to detect and measure small electric currents, while an electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce motion. So, in simpler terms, one tells you how much juice is flowing, and the other one actually does the heavy lifting. Hope that clears things up for you, sugar!
no. it,s only used to measure D.C
Based on the principle of the D'Arsonval galvanometer, the main function of a multimeter is measuring a circuit's voltage, current, and resistance.
It measures current.
A current would register on a galvanometer when there is a flow of electric charge through the circuit that the galvanometer is connected to. The galvanometer measures the strength and direction of the current passing through it, displaying this information as a deflection on its dial.

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.
A galvanometer is a device that measures electric current by deflecting a pointer on a scale. It works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Galvanometers are often used in scientific instruments and electrical equipment to detect and measure small amounts of current.
Electrical current. Invented by the Italian physiologist, Luigi Galvani.
A galvanometer is a type of ammeter: An instrument for detecting and measuring electric current.
The current is reversed in a galvanometer
A galvanometer is a sensitive current measuring device that primarily indicates the presence and direction of current, while a voltmeter measures voltage in a circuit. Galvanometers typically have lower resistance and higher sensitivity than voltmeters, which are designed to measure voltage across a component or circuit.
A galvanometer measures current by deflecting a coil of wire in a magnetic field. The current flowing through the coil generates a magnetic field that interacts with the permanent magnetic field, causing the coil to deflect. The amount of deflection is proportional to the current strength flowing through the coil.
A galvanometer measures current by using the deflections of a coil of wire placed in a permanent magnetic field.
It is used to detect very small DC currents only. For AC signals Detectors are used.
