  2. Galvanometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanometer

    The galvanometer is oriented so that the plane of the coil is vertical and aligned along parallel to the horizontal component B H of the Earth's magnetic field (i.e. parallel to the local "magnetic meridian"). When an electric current flows through the galvanometer coil, a second magnetic field B is created. At the center of the coil, where the ...
