Galvanometer, DC
Product Code : JA-ELA-5329
The Galvanometer, DC (SKU JA-ELA-5329) is a meter made by JaincoLab for detecting and measuring small direct currents in physics experiments. When current passes through its coil, the coil experiences a turning force and the needle moves over the meter scale. Students use a DC galvanometer in physics practicals as the detector in bridge and potentiometer circuits and for simple current readings. The range, scale and coil resistance are confirmed on the quotation.
Specifications
The Galvanometer, DC is a coil-type instrument for small direct currents, with the reading shown by a moving needle on a meter; range, scale divisions and coil resistance are not stated in the listing and are confirmed on the quotation.

Uses of the DC galvanometer in physics practicals
A DC galvanometer is used in physics practicals wherever a small current has to be detected or compared, such as finding the balance point in a metre bridge or potentiometer circuit and showing induced currents in electromagnetic induction experiments.
- Detector in metre bridge and Wheatstone bridge experiments
- Potentiometer experiments on EMF and internal resistance
- Electromagnetic induction demonstrations with coils and magnets
- Conversion of a galvanometer into an ammeter or voltmeter in senior school physics
