MCQ
What is moving coil galvanometer used for?
  • A
    Measurement of voltage only
  • B
    Measurement of resistance
  • ✓
    Measurement of small currents
  • D
    Measurement of electric field
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
Measurement of small currents

Moving Coil Galvanometer is an instrument used for the detection and measurement of current.
It is sensitive instrument and can measure current even if it is only a few microamperes.
It was invented by Johann Schweigger in the $1800s.$
