    A moving coil galvanometer is a device used to detect or measure electric current in a circuit. It works by having a current-carrying coil experience a torque when placed in a uniform magnetic field, causing the coil to deflect proportional to the current. Key components include a horseshoe magnet to provide the magnetic field, a lightweight coil wound with copper wire, and a spring providing a restoring torque as the coil deflects. The current sensitivity and voltage sensitivity can be increased by strengthening the magnetic field and reducing the restoring torque.

    Moving Coil galvanometer

    A moving coil
    galvanometer is
    a device to
    detect or
    measure
    electric current
    in a circuit.

    Working principle.

    ●
    A current carrying
    coil experiences a
    torque in a uniform
    magnetic field which
    deflects the coil in
    the field.
    ●
    For a galvanometer,
    deflection is
    proportional to the
    current.

    Construction and Working

    1.Horse Shoe Magnet- To provide a


    uniform radial magnetic field
    powerful cylindrical magnet is used.
    2.Coil- coil consists of large number
    of copper wires wound over a
    frame.
    3.Spring- A light spring is provided
    at the centre and develops a
    restoring torque while the coil
    deflects.
    4.Pointer- The pointer moves along
    the arc of a graduated scale.
