Description The instrument stands on a circular wooden basis with three leveling screws. From this basis rise a curved pole whose the top end is on the vertical of the centre of the basis. A thread hanging from the pole holds an astatic system formed by two magnetic needles joined in parallel. The poles of these needles are opposed so that they are not influenced by the terrestrial magnetic field. A mirror is placed at half height of the thread. The current that must be measured passes between the two magnets and makes them turn in the same direction. Through the rotation, amplified by the mirror, we can obtain the current intensity. | |||

Description The instrument stands on a wooden basis with three leveling screws. Four binding posts are placed on the edge. Two brass columns support the arc on which leans the screw that regulates the tension of the thread that holds the two needles. The ensemble is protected by a glass bell. The name “differential” derives from the fact that it is possible to measure the difference of intensity of two currents. | |||

Description It is based on an astatic system formed by two parallel magnetic needles that are joined one of the other with opposite polarities. They hang from a thread. In this way the influence of the terrestrial magnetic field is eliminated. One of the needles is free to rotate inside a coil, while the other is outside and is used as an index of the rotation. For small angles, the current intensity is proportional to the rotation of the needle. | |||

Description Upon a solid base with adjustable screws the magnet is fixed with polar expansions. The mobile coil, very solid and without a damper, is suspended with a bronze ribbon, fixed at the upper end to a suspension adjustable in the vertical direction and turning on a horizontal plane. At the bottom end the ribbon is fixed to a spring adjustable with a set screw. The mirror of D’Arsonval’s galvanometer is replaced with a mobile index of aluminium in front of the scale, visible from afar. The tension of the ribbon is regulated so that, applying a thermoelectric couple made of copper wire and a nickel silver wire allows to the binding posts, we obtain visible indications when we warm slightly the junction of the two wires. By applying a normal telephone receiver to the binding posts, we get clearly visible shifts of the index for little collisions on the vibrating lame. | |||

Description The instrument rests on a base of black glass or ebonite, with a back foot and two leveling screws. The magnet is vertical with polar expansions and a central nucleus of ductile iron. The upper suspension is a bronze ribbon and the bottom one is helical with an elastic thread. The tension of the ribbon is adjustable from above. With a 400 ohm coil the sensibility is 40 mm per microampere with the scale at one meter. The instrument is protected with a prismatic glass case fixed on the base, but the forward glass is mobile. | |||

Description The galvanometer is composed by a multiplier made of a long and thin wire. Inside the multiplier a lightly small conical mirror is hanging, with a silk thread. Behind the mirror there is a very light magnet. A magnet placed above the multiplier helps to regulate the zero of the instrument. A lamp with a very brilliant flame is placed behind a screen. Through a slit it send a light beam onto the mirror that reflects it on graduated scale placed at a distance of 60 cm from the galvanometer and enhances the very small deviations. | |||

Description Thomson’s astatic system is made of two series of thin parallel magnets with opposed polarities, pasted on a circular mica plate and connected to a pole. The needles can oscillate inside a couple of coils. The current passes across the two coils in opposite directions. A mirror placed between the two needles is useful to measure the rotation angle. Besides this there is a curved magnet placed outside the instrument. It is used to regulate the zero and the sensibility of the instrument. | |||

Description The instrument is mounted on a rectangular table. In the centre there is the multiplier inside which we have the magnet that can rotate on a horizontal axis. A long needle is joined to it. The other end of the needle is used as the index of a scale held horizontally by tow brass columns. | |||

Description The instrument is made of a conductor wire placed between the polar expansions of two U shaped magnets. When the current passes the wire moves. A detector of the shift is placed between the two magnets. From one side we have a source that send a light beam which arrives on the wire detected by a microscope placed on the other side. | |||

Description A frame sliding along a vertical column can be brought in correspondence with a turning magnetic bar on the horizontal cutter (knife - edge) provided with a long index. The multiplier has two wirings: one with a large wire with little resistance and one with a thin wire with great resistance. All the galvanometer turns on a tripod with adjustable screws. | |||

Description It is made of a telescope and a ruler placed horizontally above them. By pointing the telescope on the mirror we focus the scale of the ruler. The rays reflected by the mirror strike the ruler. If the mirror rotates, on the ruler we have an amplified shift of the point where the reflected rays fall. For small angles the shift is proportional to the rotation angle. | |||
