Tangent Galvanometer (Aluminum) – Physics Laboratory Instruments

A tangent galvanometer is an early measuring instrument used for the measurement of electric current.

It works by using a compass needle to compare a magnetic field generated by the unknown current to the magnetic field of the Earth.

The magnetic needle is free to rotate in the horizontal plane.

Feature –

• Having three standard windings 2, 5, 50 or 2, 50, 500.
• The bakelite ring with winding is mounted in bakelite base.
• The whole assembly rotates on a nonmagnetic tripod base.
• With nonmagnetic leveling screw.
• Complete with compass box.
