French translation of galvanometer is 
galvanomètre

Meaning of "galvanometer" in English

A galvanometer is a type of sensitive instrument used to detect and measure small electric currents by utilizing the mechanical deflection of a needle. Originating in the 19th century, it plays a crucial role in the field of electricity and magnetism. Typically integrated with or converted using a shunt resistor to operate as an ammeter, the galvanometer forms an essential component in various scientific and educational settings, where precise current measurements are necessary. Its functionality is based on the principles of electromagnetism, making it a staple in physics laboratories and electronic circuit testing.

Meaning of "galvanomètre" in French

In French, a galvanomètre refers to a scientific device used for measuring small electric currents. Like its English counterpart, it operates based on the principles of electromagnetism and typically involves a needle or pointer that deflects when an electric current passes through its coil. The galvanomètre is an essential tool in both educational and experimental environments, offering high sensitivity in detecting minute electrical changes. Its historical significance in the development of electrical engineering and physics highlights its continued relevance in modern scientific practices.
