The expression for tan @ is F/B

Here F = mu not n I / 2a

mu not = permiability of air which equals to 4pi x 10-7 H/m

n = number of turn in the TG

a - radius of coil in TG in meter

I = the current flowing through in ampere

B is the earth's magnetic field.

Hence B = F / tan@

Here @ is the angle of deflection in the TG when two perpendicular fields are applied. Here one is earth's magnetic field whose induction is B tesla

and F is the magnetic field produced due to flow of current in the TG coil

Why tangent galvanometer is called tangent galvanometer?

A tangent galvanometer is called so because it uses the tangent of the angle through which a magnetic needle is deflected to measure electric current. The horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field and a coil carrying current creates a magnetic field that deflects the needle, making it tangent to the circle of the coil.


How tangent galvanometer is used to determine the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field?

by using the formula b=μn/2A(I/TAN Ɵ)....where μ=4πx10 pow(-7)n=number f turns of the coilA=radius of the coil(m)I=current flowing through the coil(A)Ɵ=angle of deflection in the tangent galvanometer.


Why needle of tangent galvanometer move by increasing and decreasing current?

The galvanometer is oriented so that the plane of the coil is vertical and aligned along parallel to the horizontal component He of the Earth's magnetic field (i.e. parallel to the local "magnetic meridian"). When an electrical current flow through the galvanometer coil, a second magnetic field H is created. At the center of the coil, where the compass needle is located, the coil's field is perpendicular to the plane of the coil. These two perpendicular magnetic fields add vertically, and the compass needle points along the direction of their resultant He + H. The current in the coil causes the compass needle to rotate by an angle\ \theta.


What is the use of Tangent Galvanometer?

A Tangent Galvanometer is used to measure small electric currents in a circuit. It works on the principle of the tangent law of magnetism, where the magnetic needle aligns with the magnetic field produced by the current passing through a coil. This alignment allows for the measurement of the current based on the angle of deflection of the needle.

How does a galvanometer use a magnetic field to indicate the strength of an electric current?

A galvanometer consists of a coil of wire suspended in a magnetic field. When an electric current passes through the coil, it generates a magnetic field that interacts with the external magnetic field, causing the coil to move. The amount of deflection is proportional to the current strength, allowing the galvanometer to indicate the current passing through it.


Need readings for the project- to study the earths magnetic field using a tangent galvanometer?

For current 0.6 A the readings are 34, 34, 36, 36. Number of turns is 5 mu not is 4pi x 10-7 H/m Radius of the coil is 0.075 m Use the formula for B as mu not x [n / 2r] x [I/tan@] @ is the mean deflection in this case it will be 35 deg Hope you would do the rest For other currents namely 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0 A we of course need deflections. More over B, earth's mangetic field depends on the place. These readings are meant for Chennai in Tamilnadu, which belongs to the country India


What is the device that turns a needle in a galvanometer?

The device that turns a needle in a galvanometer is called a coil. The coil generates a magnetic field when current flows through it, which interacts with the magnetic field produced by the permanent magnet in the galvanometer to cause the needle to deflect.


How is magnetic field made radial in a moving coil galvanometer?

The magnetic field in a moving coil galvanometer is made radial by surrounding the coil with a cylindrical magnetic core. When current flows through the coil, it creates a magnetic field perpendicular to the coil. This magnetic field interacts with the radial magnetic field of the core, causing a torque on the coil that deflects the pointer.
