What happens to a galvanometer when a magnet is flicked across the coil?

It should deflect to the left (negative) based on the experiment I did
a few days ago in lab but I could be wrong.
=============================
Doesn't that depend on which end of the coil goes to which end of the meter ??
After you finished the experiment and made note of the meter's deflection, you
could leave everything exactly as it is, but get up, walk around to the other side
of the table with the magnet, insert the S-pole into the other side of the coil, and
I guarantee the meter would deflect in the opposite direction.
The configuration is not adequately specified in the question.

Why tangent galvanometer is called tangent galvanometer?
because in tangent galvanometer earth magnetic field and magnetic field of magnet inside galvanometer are perpendicular to each other
What happens to a magnet if you freeze it too much?
a magnet is a solid so you don't freeze it
How a galvanometer works?
Electricity passing through a wire coil creates a magnetic field which twists a suspended magnet and mirror. A light beam reflects off the mirror and onto a scale.
When you rub a magnet with metal what happens to the metal object?
the metal object becomes a temporary magnet
What happens to a bar magnet when it is cut in half?
The bar magnet becomes two smaller barn magnets.

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.
How do you produce electricity from magnetism?
One way you can produce electricity is by using a U shaped magnet and pushing a metal string in the U shaped magnet!You use a galvanometer attached to the string and when you push it, it will become electrical energy! (A galvanometer measures electricity.)
What are the 3 main energy sources of a generator?
Coils of insulated wire, a permanent magnet, and a galvanometer. Hope thus helped!
What happens to a magnet when copper rubs aganist it?
It might leave a copper coloured streak across the magnet, but apart from that, nothing much. I think you are looking at what happens to a copper wire when it is moved in a magnetic field. In which case the answer is, a current is induced in the wire. (It does not have to touch)
What happens when you rust a magnet?
the magnet gets weaker
How do you convert galvanometer to an ohmmeter?
"An ohmmeter is an electrical instrument that measures electrical resistance, the opposition to an electric current."The unit of measurement for resistance is ohms (Ω).It is useful device for rapid measurement of resistance. It is consist of galvanometer and adjustable resistance Rs of known value and a cell connected in series. The resistance R to be measured is connected between the terminals.The series resistance Rs is so adjusted that when the terminals are short circuited i.e., when R = 0, the galvanometer gives full scale deflection. So the extreme graduation of the usual scale the galvanometer is marked 0 for resistance measurement. When terminals are not joined no current passes through the galvanometer and its deflection will be zero . Thus zero of the scale marked as infinity. . When R is not infinite , the galvanometer deflects to some intermediate point depending on the value of R scale can be calibrated to read the resistance directly.
Will rod magnet still become a magnet when it cut across into thin slices?
yes.when you slice a rod magnet it will still be considered as a magnet
What happens to the bar magnet as it nears the U magnet the bar magnet will?
Move towards the U magnet so that the poles attach.
What happens when steel nails come in contact with magnet?
the nail goes to the magnet
What happens when a magnet touches copper?
Nothing happens, it does not attract.
What happens to a magnet if you freeze it too much?
a magnet is a solid so you don't freeze it
