  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. 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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    But when the small coil is moved in or out of the large coil (B), the magnetic flux through the large coil changes, inducing a current which is detected by the galvanometer (G). [ 1 ] Faraday's law of induction (or simply Faraday's law ) is a law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to ...

  8. 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 ...

    The EPA granted two waivers to the California Air Resources Board to allow full implementation of its regulation requiring all new car sales to be zero-emission by 2035 and a second rule lowering ...
