  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 ...

  3. Voltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltmeter

    A moving coil galvanometer can be used as a voltmeter by inserting a resistor in series with the instrument. The galvanometer has a coil of fine wire suspended in a strong magnetic field. When an electric current is applied, the interaction of the magnetic field of the coil and of the stationary magnet creates a torque, tending to make the coil ...

  4. Mirror galvanometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_galvanometer

    This moving coil galvanometer is mainly used to measure very feeble or low currents of order 10 −9 A. To linearise the magnetic field across the coil throughout the galvanometer's range of movement, the d'Arsonval design of a soft iron cylinder is placed inside the coil without touching it. This gives a consistent radial field, rather than a ...

  5. Helmholtz coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_coil

    A Helmholtz coil Helmholtz coil schematic drawing. A Helmholtz coil is a device for producing a region of nearly uniform magnetic field, named after the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz. It consists of two electromagnets on the same axis, carrying an equal electric current in the same direction. Besides creating magnetic fields, Helmholtz ...

  6. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    The meter movement in a moving pointer analog multimeter is practically always a moving-coil galvanometer of the d'Arsonval type, using either jeweled pivots or taut bands to support the moving coil. In a basic analog multimeter the current to deflect the coil and pointer is drawn from the circuit being measured; it is usually an advantage to ...

  8. Ballistic galvanometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_galvanometer

    A ballistic galvanometer is a type of sensitive galvanometer; commonly a mirror galvanometer. Unlike a current-measuring galvanometer, the moving part has a large moment of inertia, thus giving it a long oscillation period. It is really an integrator measuring the quantity of charge discharged through it. It can be either of the moving coil or ...
