String galvanometer

Well, a string galvanometer is a special kind of tool that can help us measure very small electrical currents. It works by having a tiny piece of wire coated in a special material, and this wire is wrapped around a string or fiber. When a current flows through the wire, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the string.

The string then moves back and forth, and we can measure this movement to figure out how much current is flowing. It's kind of like when you blow on a piece of string and it moves back and forth - the current is doing the same thing, but on a much smaller scale.

The really cool thing about string galvanometers is that they are very sensitive, so we can measure even very small electrical currents that might be too weak for other tools to detect. Scientists and engineers use string galvanometers in all sorts of experiments and projects to learn more about electricity and how it works.
