Tangent Galvanometer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-EE-12412

The Tangent Galvanometer is a physics lab apparatus used for demonstrating the relationship between electric current and magnetic field using the tangent law. It is suitable for schools, colleges, STEM laboratories and physics teachers who need a practical instrument for electromagnetism, current measurement and magnetic field experiments.

Product Description

The Tangent Galvanometer from School Equipments is used in school physics laboratories to study how a current-carrying circular coil produces a magnetic field. When current passes through the coil, the magnetic needle deflects, allowing students to observe the relationship between coil current and magnetic deflection.

This apparatus supports practical teaching of electromagnetism, earth’s magnetic field, current measurement and tangent law verification. It can be used with related electricity and electromagnetism apparatus, physics laboratory equipment, measuring equipment and electrical accessories for complete classroom circuit and magnetism setups.

Key Features

• Designed for demonstrating tangent law and magnetic field due to a circular current-carrying coil.
• Useful for teaching current, magnetic deflection, coil orientation and compass needle response.
• Supports school physics practicals on electromagnetism and magnetic field measurement.
• Suitable for teacher demonstrations, supervised student experiments and STEM lab activities.
• Helps students connect theoretical current-magnetism relationships with visible needle deflection.
• Can be used with compatible low-voltage power supplies, rheostats, ammeters and connecting leads.
• Practical apparatus for laboratory records, viva preparation and examination demonstrations.

How to Use the Tangent Galvanometer

1. Place the tangent galvanometer on a stable, level laboratory table.
2. Rotate the instrument so the coil plane is aligned with the magnetic meridian, as instructed by the teacher.
3. Confirm the coil terminals, number of turns and safe current range before circuit connection.
4. Connect the galvanometer coil in series with a suitable DC power source, rheostat and ammeter.
5. Switch on the circuit and adjust the current gradually using the rheostat.
6. Observe the magnetic needle deflection and record the angle carefully.
7. Repeat the observation for different current values within the confirmed safe range.
8. Use the recorded values to study tangent law or calculate the required magnetic field relationship.

Safety and handling note: do not exceed the confirmed current range, and switch off the circuit before changing connections or reversing current direction.

Care & Maintenance

• Store the instrument in a dry laboratory cabinet after use.
• Keep the compass area, scale and terminals clean for clear observations.
• Do not expose the magnetic needle to strong magnets or mechanical shock.
• Inspect terminals, coil continuity and alignment before practical examinations.
