Deprez-d'Arsonval galvanometer
Associated persons:
Jaques-Arsène d' Arsonval
Marcel Deprez
Description:
The mobile circuit galvanometer, a galvanometer improved by Arsène d’Arsonval in association with Marcel Deprez in 1880. Instead of a magnetised needle moving when electrical current flows through a surrounding wire coil the Deprez-d'Arsonval galvanometer has a fixed magnet and moveable coil. If a pointer is attached to the coil it can move over a suitably calibrated scale. The d'Arsonval galvanometer is the basis for most modern galvanometers.
