Physics Simple Galvanoscope
Product Code : JA-PLE-4132
The Physics Simple Galvanoscope (SKU JA-PLE-4132) is a basic current detector in which a magnetic needle, pivoted inside a coil of 30 turns, swings when a current flows through the coil. This simple galvanoscope for school physics lab work shows the magnetic effect of electric current and the direction of current in a circuit, and JaincoLab manufactures it for school and junior college practicals.
Specifications
The galvanoscope has a wooden former with terminals, wound with 30 turns of enamelled copper wire, an engraved metal scale marked 0–180–0 and figured every 45°, and a 75 mm magnetic needle on a brass bearing; the maximum voltage is 4.5 V.

Applications of the simple galvanoscope in school physics
When the galvanoscope is connected in a low-voltage circuit, the current in the coil produces a magnetic field that deflects the needle; the direction of the swing shows the direction of the current, and a larger deflection indicates a larger current.
- Detecting whether a current flows in a simple circuit
- Showing the magnetic effect of an electric current, as in Oersted’s observation
- Showing that reversing the current reverses the deflection of the needle
- Class demonstrations and group activities using cells within the 4.5 V limit
