Galvanometer
A galvanometer is a device (instrument) used for detecting feeble electric voltage, currents in a circuit. It has a coil pivoted (or suspended) between concave pole faces of a strong laminated horse shoe magnet. When an electric current passes through the coil it deflects. Its deflection is noted by attaching a pointer to the coil (or by using a lamp and scale arrangement). The deflection is proportional to the current passed.
The galvanometer coil has a moderate resistance (about 100 ohms) and the galvanometer itself has a small current carrying capacity (1 mA).
