Deutsch: Galvanometer / Español: Galvanómetro / Português: Galvanômetro / Français: Galvanomètre / Italiano: Galvanometro

A galvanometer is a type of sensitive ammeter: an instrument for detecting electric current. It is an analog electromechanical actuator that produces a rotary deflection of some type of pointer in response to electric current flowing through its coil in a magnetic field.

In an industrial or manufacturing context, a "galvanometer" is an instrument used to measure electrical current. A galvanometer works by detecting the magnetic field produced by the flow of current in a wire and translating this into a mechanical deflection or reading on a scale.

  1. Moving coil galvanometer: A type of galvanometer that uses a coil of wire that rotates in a magnetic field to produce a mechanical deflection proportional to the current flowing through the coil.

  2. Digital galvanometer: A type of galvanometer that uses electronic components, such as transistors or diodes, to convert the magnetic field produced by the current into a digital signal that can be displayed on a screen.

  3. Null balance galvanometer: A type of galvanometer that uses a delicate mechanical balance mechanism to detect the magnetic field produced by the current and produce a highly sensitive reading.

  4. Shunt galvanometer: A type of galvanometer that is used to measure high levels of current by diverting a small portion of the current through the galvanometer and measuring the resulting magnetic field.

  5. Solenoid galvanometer: A type of galvanometer that uses a solenoid, or a coil of wire, to produce a magnetic field proportional to the current flowing through the coil.

These are just a few examples of the use of "galvanometer" in an industrial context, and the specific meaning of the term may vary depending on the context and the industry or application. Galvanometers are often used in a variety of applications, such as electrical power systems, electronic testing and measurement, and scientific research.
