Can we use galvanometer to measure alternating current ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a galvanometer can be used to measure alternating current (AC), we can analyze the working principle of the galvanometer and the nature of AC. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Galvanometer**: - A galvanometer is an instrument that measures small electric currents. It operates based on the principle of torque acting on a coil placed in a magnetic field. The deflection of the needle is proportional to the current flowing through the coil. 2. **Current Types**: ...
