There are various electrical instruments used to measure current, power, voltage, etc. Some of them are briefly explained below:
Moving Coil Galvanometer
- It is an electromagnetic device which measures small values of current.
- Its working principle is that whenever a current loop is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a certain torque. The value of that torque can be modified by modifying the current in the loop.
- For a current carrying loop having N turns, and cross sectional area A, carrying current i, whenever it is placed in and along the direction of an external magnetic field B, it experiences a torque given by:
