Question 324Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passWhat is the instrument called a galvanometer used to measure?
Athickness of galvanized metal
Bresistance of electrical wiring insulation
Cquantity of galvans in an electric circuit
Dvery small amounts of current
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) very small amounts of current. A galvanometer is a sensitive electrical instrument used to measure very small amounts of electric current. It works by detecting the deflection of a needle or pointer in response to the flow of current through a coil within the instrument. This makes it ideal for measuring small currents, which is why it is the correct choice for this question. The other answer choices are incorrect because a galvanometer is not used to measure the thickness of galvanized metal (A), the resistance of electrical wiring insulation (B), or the quantity of "galvans" (which is not a standard electrical term) in a circuit (C).
