EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE MOVING COIL GALVANOMETER: WORKING PRINCIPLE, CONSTRUCTION, AND METHODOLOGY
Abstract
This paper presents an experimental analysis of the moving coil galvanometer, focusing on its working principle, construction, and governing equations. A detailed literature review is provided, followed by a new methodology for conducting experiments to measure the sensitivity of the galvanometer. The results are presented in tabular form and illustrated with graphs based on statistical experimental data. This study aims to enhance the understanding of galvanometer functionality and its applications in measuring electric currents.
