Question

difference between ammeter and galvanometer

Answer 1

Dear student Difference Between Galvanometer & Ammeter The most significant difference between the galvanometer and ammeter is that the galvanometer show both the direction and the magnitude of the current, whereas the ammeter only shows the magnitude of the current. The galvanometer uses a moving coil which is free to rotate between the permanent magnet. When the current flows through the coil, it becomes deflected. The deflection of the coil is directly proportional to the current flow through it. The galvanometer is converted into the ammeter by connecting the resistance in parallel with the circuit. And if the resistance is connected in series with a galvanometer, then it is used as a voltmeter. Regards
