Galvanometer

Short Description: A sensitive analog instrument for detecting and measuring small electric currents — a classic and essential tool for physics experiments in schools, colleges, and universities.

The Galvanometer is a highly sensitive electromagnetic instrument used to detect, measure, and indicate the presence and direction of small electric currents. It is a foundational instrument in physics education, used to demonstrate electromagnetic principles, verify Kirchhoff’s laws, and perform Wheatstone bridge experiments. Its center-zero scale allows detection of current in both directions, making it ideal for null-point detection in bridge circuits and potentiometer experiments.

Key Features

• Highly sensitive to small electric currents (microamperes to milliamperes)
• Center-zero scale for bidirectional current detection
• Robust moving-coil mechanism for reliable, consistent readings
• Clear, easy-to-read analog scale
• Binding post terminals for secure circuit connections
• Durable construction for long-term educational use
• Ideal for null-point detection in bridge and potentiometer circuits
