What is potential free contact? What is the significance and application of this contact?

Contacts having not potential. E.g. Relay contacts/ field switches contacts. They are used in logic circuits. A potential-free contact is usually wired into an electrical circuit. However, it must be ensured that the contact ratings are suitable for the service in which it is used.

How to Calculate Deflection in Galvanometer?

Deflection in Galvanometer calculator uses Deflection Angle = (Potential Difference*Voltage Sensitivity of Galvanometer)*(pi/180) to calculate the Deflection Angle, The Deflection in Galvanometer formula is defined as The deflection of the galvanometer's needle is proportional to the current flowing through the coil. This action reverses the poles of the magnetic field generated around the coil as the current passes through it, so the coil swings in the opposite direction. Deflection Angle is denoted by θ_d symbol.

How to calculate Deflection in Galvanometer using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Deflection in Galvanometer, enter Potential Difference (V) & Voltage Sensitivity of Galvanometer (Vs) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Deflection in Galvanometer calculation can be explained with given input values -> 3.141593 = (18*10)*(pi/180).

FAQ

What is Deflection in Galvanometer?

The Deflection in Galvanometer formula is defined as The deflection of the galvanometer's needle is proportional to the current flowing through the coil. This action reverses the poles of the magnetic field generated around the coil as the current passes through it, so the coil swings in the opposite direction and is represented as θ_d = (V*Vs)*(pi/180) or Deflection Angle = (Potential Difference*Voltage Sensitivity of Galvanometer)*(pi/180). Potential Difference also known as voltage, is the external work needed to bring a charge from one location to another location in an electric field & Voltage Sensitivity of Galvanometer is defined as the deflection produced in the galvanometer when a unit voltage is applied across two terminals.
