Tangent Galvanometer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Tangent Galvanometer

Product Code : SCL-EAE-14626

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Tangent Galvanometer (Product ID: 14626) as part of its electrical and electronics range. It measures current, or the Earth’s horizontal magnetic field, from the deflection of a compass needle at the centre of a circular coil.

Quick Answer

With the coil set in the magnetic meridian, current through it makes a field at right angles to the Earth’s horizontal field, and the needle settles at an angle θ where I is proportional to tan θ. The enamelled copper coil is typically 15–20 cm in diameter, with 2, 5 or 10 turns depending on model. The compass has a 0–360° scale, and the coil stands on a wooden or fibre base with brass terminals. Please confirm the turns and coil diameter at quotation.

Where This Is Used

It is used to verify the tangent law and to find the horizontal component of the Earth’s field. Control the current with a Rheostat 10 Inches (Product ID: 14631) and reverse it with a Reversing Key (Commutator) (Product ID: 14635). Keep magnets and steel away from the compass.
