Full-scale deflection
Lesson Flashcards: The Moving-Coil Galvanometer Physics
The angle through which a galvanometer arm turns when the galvanometer is used to measure the maximum current that it can measure
Galvanometer
A device for measuring an electric current by balancing the magnetic dipole moment of a conducting coil in a magnetic field with a restoring torque
Sensitivity
The ratio of deflection of a galvanometer arm to the current carried by the galvanometer coil
Arm deflection
The angle through which a galvanometer arm turns when the galvanometer is used to measure a current
