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 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.


What cause the pointer to move in a galvanometer?

Basically, the pointer moves due to measuring the direct current (flow of electric charge) through an electric circuit.


What causes the pointer on the meter to move?

The pointer on a meter moves in response to changes in the quantity that the meter is measuring. For example, in a water meter, the flow of water causes the pointer to move. In an electricity meter, the amount of electricity being used will cause the pointer to move.


What are the parts of galvanometer and its function?

five basic parts1. A U-shaped permanent magnet with concave poles.2. Flat rectangular coil of thin enameled insulated wire 'C'.3. A soft iron cylinder 'B'.4. A pointer or needle.5. A scale.


True or false The device that turns a needle in a galvanometer is called an electromagnet.?

True. An electromagnet is used in a galvanometer to create a magnetic field that interacts with the current-carrying coil and causes the needle to move.


What causes the pointer on a thermostat to move to a different temperature reading?

The pointer on a thermostat moves when the room temperature changes. This change in temperature causes the thermostat's sensor to detect the difference and adjust the pointer accordingly to indicate the new temperature reading.

What can cause a galvanometer needle to move?

A galvanometer needle can be moved by the flow of electric current through its coil, the presence of a magnetic field, or mechanical disturbances like vibrations or shocks.


How do you move the pointer on a microscope?

To move the pointer on a microscope, you can adjust the mechanical stage controls that move the slide horizontally and vertically. Simply turn the knobs in the desired direction to position the pointer over the area of interest on the specimen slide.


What to do when in excel worksheet pointer not work as copy pointer or as move pointer?

All you need to do is just press the arrow keys and the cursor will move in the direction of the arrow that has been pressed. If you press and hold the one of the Shift keys at the same time, then it will also select cells as the cursor moves.
