Question:

Which of the following instrument is used for detection of current in an electrical circuit?

Options:

Voltmeter

Galvanometer

Ammeter

None of these

Correct Answer:

Galvanometer

Explanation:

A galvanometer is an instrument that can detect the presence of a current in a circuit.

The pointer remains at zero (the centre of the scale) for zero current flowing through it.

It can deflect either to the left or to the right of the zero-mark depending on the direction of current.
