Question

What is that instrument which can detect the presence of electric current in a circuit?

  1. Voltmeter
  2. Generator
  3. Ammeter
  4. Galvanometer

hintHint:

The galvanometer is an instrument used to measure the presence of current.

The correct answer is: Galvanometer


    Galvanometer is that instrument which can detect the presence of electric current in a circuit.
    • The presence of electric current in a circuit can be detected by using the galvanometer.
    • It detects the direction of current with a deflection of a small moving coil.
    • Small amounts of current can be detected by the galvanometer.
    • Both the direction and magnitude of the small current of the order of micro-amperes are detected by this instrument.
