…..And Then There Is Physics

HELMHOLTZ GALVANOMETER

It is named after the German scientist  Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz.

Q.What is Helmholtz Galvanomete r?

A.  A H elmholtz galvanometer , like other galvanometers , is an instrument which  can be use to measure dc current in the circuit. It is an improved form of the tangent galvanometer. .

Q. On what principle is Helmholtz Galvanometer based?

A. It is based on Tangent Law,which states that when two magnetic fields are acting perpendicular to each other, then for a given restoring field deflecting field is directly proportional to tangent of the angle made by resultant with restoring field.

Q.How does the field along the axis of coil vary?

A.The field F at distance x from the center of the coil of radius r is defines as:

                                                    F=(2*3.14*n*i*r)/10(r*r+x*x)^3/2

where n is the number of turns and i is the current flowing through the coil.

Q.What is the magnitude of of field at the center?

A. For F at center,x=0,

                                                   F=(2*3.14*n*i)/10*r

Q.How can we increase the region of uniform field?

A.By using two identical coils placed co-axially at a distance equal to their radius.

Q.Define Tangent Law.

A.  F=H tan θ,where H & F are mutually perpendicular magnetic fields.

Q.Why is it necessary to set the plane of coil in the magnetic meridian?

A.To make the magnetic field produced by the coils at ninety degrees to the horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field.

Q.What is magnetic meridian ?

A. A plane passing through the axis of magnetic needle freely suspended through it’s center of gravity & is at rest under Earth’s magnetic field.

Q.How is the error in  measurement of deflection eliminated if the coil is not exactly placed in the magnetic meridian?

A.By passing current in one direction and then in reverse direction and then taking the mean of the four readings.we get deflection free from error.

Advantages of Helmholtz Galvanometer over Tangent Galvanometer.

Tangent galvanometer has uniform magnetic field only at the center while Helmholtz has it between the two coils.Helmholtz galvanometer is more sensitive.At the same current Helmholtz produces more deflection and field.

1) What is an Ammeter?

The magnitude of current flowing in a circuit can be determined by a device which is known as an ammeter. An ammeter measures both direct current and alternate current, and also it works with or without the presence of the magnetic field.

2) What is a Galvanometer?

To detect the direction and strength of a small current present in a circuit, a device is used, which is known as a galvanometer. A galvanometer only measures the direct current, and it works in the presence of the magnetic field.

3) How can a galvanometer be used as an ammeter?

A large current can be detected by converting a galvanometer into an ammeter. Since a galvanometer is a device used to detect or measure small currents, to alter a galvanometer into an ammeter, a shunt resistance is connected parallel to the galvanometer where the shunt resistance is a resistance of low value.

4) What is shunt resistance?

Shunt resistance is a resistance of low value. A shunt resistor is made using a material of low-temperature coefficient resistance value. It can be used for measuring the range to which it is extended when it is connected in parallel with an ammeter. And the current through the load can be determined when the same shunt resistance is connected in series with the load. For converting a galvanometer into an ammeter, shunt resistance is used.

5) What is the reduction factor?

In order to produce 45∘ deflection in a galvanometer, a current is required, which is known as a reduction factor; it is used in a tangent galvanometer. The reduction factor is measured in ampere and denoted by K.

6) Why is an ammeter always connected in series?

Since the internal resistance of an ammeter is low, it is always connected in series. There are high chances of short-circuiting if the ammeter is connected in parallel.

7) How does current electricity differ from static electricity?

As the name suggests, static electricity is static, whereas current electricity is dynamic. The form of electricity in which charges constantly flow is known as current electricity.

8) What is Static Electricity?

Fundamentally, the phenomenon of static electricity rises when the positive and negative charges are divided. Electric charges that build up on the surface of materials or substances are known as static electricity. These electric charges remain static until they are discharged or grounded. This type of electricity is formed due to friction.

9) What is a Voltmeter?

The potential difference or voltage among two points of an electronic or electrical circuit is measured using an instrument which is known as a voltage metre or voltmeter.

10) What is the working principle of a voltmeter?

A voltmeter is that it must be connected in parallel to the circuit in which the voltage has to be measured; this is the basic principle of a voltmeter. A voltmeter is built in such a way that it has a very high resistance value, and this is the reason why a parallel connection is used.
