The compact apparatus provides clear observations of electromagnetic effects and is supplied with complete operating instructions.
Product Specification
The Tangent Galvanometer is a practical apparatus designed to investigate the magnetic field produced by an electric current. It provides a clear experimental arrangement for observing how a current-carrying coil generates a magnetic field and how the strength of this field changes under different electrical conditions.
When current passes through the coil, a magnetic field is produced around it. The apparatus allows this magnetic effect to be observed and investigated in relation to the direction and magnitude of the applied current.
Micro Technologies supplies the apparatus with a coil assembly, electrical terminals, control arrangement, and an integrated magnetic indicator for performing controlled magnetism experiments.
One of the important investigations possible with this apparatus is the relationship between magnetic-field strength and the number of turns in the coil. Increasing or changing the effective number of coil turns allows the resulting magnetic effect to be compared.
The apparatus can also be used to investigate how magnetic-field strength changes with the voltage applied across the coils and the resulting electric current.
Another important observation is that a current-carrying conductor produces a magnetic field oriented relative to the direction of current. Reversing the current direction produces a corresponding reversal in the magnetic-field direction.
The Tangent Galvanometer therefore provides a convenient experimental platform for studying the relationship between electric current, coil turns, applied voltage, magnetic-field strength, and magnetic-field direction.
Complete operating instructions are supplied with the apparatus for convenient setup and experimental use.

FAQs
What is a Tangent Galvanometer used for?
It is used to investigate magnetic fields produced by electric current and study how magnetic-field strength and direction vary under different experimental conditions.
What happens when current passes through the coil?
The current-carrying coil produces a magnetic field that can be observed using the magnetic indication arrangement of the apparatus.
Can magnetic-field strength be investigated?
Yes. The apparatus allows changes in magnetic-field strength to be investigated by varying experimental parameters such as current, applied voltage, and coil turns.
Can the effect of coil turns be investigated?
Yes. The apparatus can be used to demonstrate how the magnetic field varies with the number of effective turns in the coil.
Can the effect of applied voltage be studied?
Yes. The voltage applied across the coil can be varied under suitable experimental conditions to investigate the resulting changes in current and magnetic-field strength.
What happens when the current direction is reversed?
Reversing the current reverses the direction of the magnetic field generated by the coil.
Does magnetic-field strength depend on current?
Yes. Under a fixed coil configuration, increasing current increases the magnetic field produced by the coil.
Can the relationship between electricity and magnetism be demonstrated?
Yes. The apparatus clearly demonstrates that an electric current produces a magnetic field.
Does the apparatus require an external electrical supply?
A suitable controlled electrical supply is required to pass current through the coil during experiments.
Are electrical terminals provided?
Yes. Electrical connection terminals are incorporated into the apparatus for experimental circuit connections.
