Tangent galvanometer is used to measure (a) potential difference (b) current (c) resistance (d) charge

Answer: (b). In a tangent galvanometer I = (2rBH)/(μ₀ N)tan θ, i.e. I ∝ tan θ. The deflection gives the current directly. So the answer is (b) current.

Tangent galvanometer is used to measure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

In a tangent galvanometer $I = \frac{2rB_H}{\mu_0 N}\tan\theta$ , i.e. $I \propto \tan\theta$ .
The deflection gives the current directly.
So the answer is (b) current.
