Question

describing the function of galvanometers
use the drop - down menus to complete the passage.
a galvanometer detects an electric current by showing needle movement in a magnetic field. if the wires in this galvanometer are attached to the terminals of a battery, the compass needle will move and point to the wrapped coil of wire. if the wires to the terminal connections are switch in the ment of the need ly if there is a stron
parallel
perpendicular
at a 45 - degree angle

Explanation:

When a current flows through the wire coil of a galvanometer, it creates a magnetic field. The compass needle (which is a magnet) interacts with this magnetic field. According to the right - hand rule and the principles of magnetic interactions, the needle will align itself perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field produced by the current - carrying coil.

Answer:

perpendicular
