Question

Why galvanometer is not used to measure current?

Answer 1

The reason for galvanometer to be not used to measure current:

1. The galvanometer is a very sensitive device.
2. For a small amount of current, the galvanometer deflection will be maximum.
3. Hence, it may get damaged when a strong current is passed through the galvanometer.
4. So the galvanometer is not used to measure the current.

Hence, the galvanometer is not used to measure current.
