Galvanometer Zero Center
Galvanometer Zero Center is a precision instrument used to detect and measure small electric currents by deflecting a needle from a zero center position. Designed with a symmetrical scale balanced around the zero point, it enables accurate detection of current direction and magnitude. Constructed with sensitive coils and magnetic systems, this galvanometer is widely used in physics laboratories, electrical testing, and instrumentation for experiments requiring precise current measurement and analysis.
