Conversion of Galvanometer into Ammeter Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-EE-12360

The Conversion of Galvanometer into Ammeter apparatus is a physics laboratory teaching setup used for demonstrating how a galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by connecting a low-resistance shunt in parallel. It is designed for school physics labs, college practical rooms, STEM classrooms, and current electricity experiments.

Product Description

The Conversion of Galvanometer into Ammeter apparatus by School Equipments helps students understand the practical method of extending the current-measuring range of a sensitive galvanometer. It demonstrates why a shunt resistance is connected in parallel so that most of the current bypasses the galvanometer coil.

This apparatus is suitable for lessons on current measurement, meter conversion, shunt resistance, galvanometer sensitivity, and Ohm’s law applications. The final supplied configuration may include a galvanometer, shunt resistance, resistance box, connecting leads, ammeter scale, and terminals; exact range and component list should be confirmed before publishing.

How to Use the Conversion of Galvanometer into Ammeter Apparatus

1. Place the apparatus on a dry and stable laboratory table.
2. Identify the galvanometer terminals, shunt terminals, and current input terminals.
3. Connect the shunt resistance in parallel with the galvanometer as shown in the circuit diagram.
4. Connect the converted meter in series with the test circuit.
5. Apply only the confirmed low-voltage supply and observe the meter deflection.
6. Compare readings with the calculated ammeter range and shunt value.
7. Switch off the supply before changing resistance values or circuit connections.

Safety note: use only the rated current range, avoid short circuits, and never connect the galvanometer directly to a high-current source without a proper shunt.

Care & Maintenance

• Keep the apparatus dry and protected from dust after use.
• Do not overload the galvanometer or shunt beyond the confirmed rating.
• Check leads, terminals, and resistance connections before each experiment.
• Store delicate meter movements carefully to avoid mechanical shock.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Conversion of Galvanometer into Ammeter apparatus used for?

It is used to demonstrate how a sensitive galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by connecting a suitable low-resistance shunt in parallel.

Why is a shunt connected in parallel with a galvanometer?

A shunt is connected in parallel so that most of the current passes through the shunt while only a small safe current passes through the galvanometer coil.

Is this apparatus suitable for school physics laboratories?

Yes. It is suitable for school physics labs, college practical rooms, STEM classrooms, and current electricity demonstrations under teacher supervision.

Does the kit include a galvanometer?

The supplied product data does not confirm whether a galvanometer is included. Add the galvanometer, shunt, resistance box, and lead details only after checking the final kit contents.

Can students calculate the shunt resistance using this apparatus?

Yes. Students can use the galvanometer resistance, full-scale deflection current, and required ammeter range to calculate the required shunt resistance.

What category should this product be listed under?

This product should be listed under physics laboratory equipment, electricity and electromagnetism apparatus, current measurement apparatus, and meter conversion experiment kits.
