    This document discusses different electrical measurement devices including galvanometers, ammeters, voltmeters, and Wheatstone bridges. It describes their constructions, principles of operation, and how they are used to measure current, voltage, and unknown resistances. Factors that affect galvanometer sensitivity are also covered, as well as methods for increasing or decreasing sensitivity by converting a galvanometer into an ammeter or voltmeter.

    Chapter # 15 Galvanometer

    1. What is Galvanometer? Describe its construction and principle of working 2. What is the principle of working of Galvanometer? 3. What problem can occur if the plane surface is used instead of concave surface in permanent magnet of galvanometer? 4. Is it possible to use a galvanometer to detect change in magnetic field intensity? 5. What is sensitivity of Galvanometer? Derive its relation with the current. 6. What are the factors affecting sensitivity? 7. How can we increase/ decrease the sensitivity of a galvanometer 8. Whats the reason for using radial magnetic field in moving coil galvanometer? [3] 9. A galvanometer of resistance 25 gives full scale deflection for a voltage of 100mV. How can it be converted to a) an ammeter reading up to 10A and b) a voltmeter reading up to 50V? [7]

    Ammeter
    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. What is Ammeter? Describe its construction and principle of working What an ammeter is constructed using a galvanometer? What is shunt resistance in meter? What is it used for? How do we use ammeter to measure the current? What happens to our reading while measuring current when we connect an ammeter parallel to the circuit? 6. Trying to make ammeter more effective, a student connects a large value resistance in series with galvanometer ( as shown in fig ). What effects does this additional resistance cause?

    7. Why should the resistance of an ammeter be very small and that of voltmeter be very high? Briefly explain. [4]

    Voltmeter
    1. What is Voltmeter? Describe its construction and working. 2. How a Voltmeter does is used to measure voltage in the circuit? 3. What happens to our reading while measuring voltage when we connect a voltmeter series to the circuit?

    4. Describe in detail the construction and working of a potentiometer. Also derive relevant mathematical expressions. [6] 5. What is basic purpose of using a high value resistance in series with galvanometer to turn into voltmeter?

    Wheat stone bridge


    1. What is wheat stone bridge? How it can be used to determine the value of unknown resistance? 2. In wheat stone bridge, what happens at balance condition?
