 aDVANTAGES
 It has ability to detect very small amount current
 A Moving Coil Galvanometer Can be Made Highly Sensitive By
Increasing N ,B,A and decreasing K
 Can Be Used In Vertical and Horizontal Position Due to Spring
Control
 Uniform Scale.
 Disadvantages

 High Current can Damage The Galvanometer.

 It Can Only Be Used For DC Measurement.
 Some Errors May Occur Due To Friction and Resistance.
 USES

 It is used In school and College Laboratories For the measurement of

current
 They are also used in laser engraving, laser sintering, laser TVs, laser
displays, etc.
 They are used for positioning and control systems.
