Galvanometer

What do we mean by galvanometer?

An instrument used to detect, measure, and determine the direction of small electric currents by means of mechanical effects produced by a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field. noun

An instrument for detecting the existence and determining the strength and direction of an electric current. noun

An instrument or apparatus for measuring the intensity of an electric current, usually by the deflection of a magnetic needle. noun

See under Differental, a. noun

A galvanometer in which the sine, cosine, or tangent respectively, of the angle through which the needle is deflected, is proportional to the strength of the current passed through the instrument. noun

A device used to indicate the presence and direction of a small electric current, especially used to detect a null or balanced condition in a bridge circuit. noun

Meter for detecting or comparing or measuring small electric currents noun

A device used to indicate the presence and direction of a small electric current, especially used to detect a null or balanced condition in a bridge circuit.
