Tangent Galvanometer

GALVANOMETER

Galvanometer is an electromechanical instrument used for detecting and indicating electric current. A galvanometer works as an actuator, by producing a rotary deflection (of a “pointer”), in response to electric current flowing through a coil in a constant magnetic field.

It consists of a bakelite moulded ring 170 mm, with three sets of winding – 2, 5 and 50 turns carefully insulated, connected to heavy brass terminals. The number of turns is clearly marked between the terminals. The ring is mounted on a pivoted round bakelite base which rotates on an aluminium tripod base fitted with three brass levelling screws.

An extra compass is given free along with unit.
