ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I am grateful to the Almighty to give me
strength to successfully complete my
project.
This project wouldnt have been feasible
without the proper and rigorous guidance
of my Physics teacher Mr. Siby
Sebastian, who guided me throughout
this project in every possible way.
I am deeply indebted to my school for
providing the best of facilities and
environment to bring out our innovation
and spirit of inquiry through this venture.

Principle
When a bar magnet is suspended in two
Magnetic fields B and Bh, it comes to rest
making an angle with the direction of
Bh.
Diagram
Theory
Tangent galvanometer is an early
measuring instrument for small electric
currents. It consists of a coil of insulated
copper wire wound on a circular nonmagnetic frame. Its working is based on
the principle of the tangent law of
magnetism. When a current is passed
through the circular coil, a magnetic field
(B) is produced at the center of the coil in
a direction perpendicular to the plane of
the coil. The TG is arranged in such a way
Procedure
For performing in real life
Connections are made as shown in the figure,
where K is the key, E the battery, A the ammeter,
R the rheostat, C the commutator, and T.G the
tangent galvanometer.
The commutator can reverse the current through
the T.G coil without changing the current in the
rest of the circuit.
Taking the average of the resulting two readings
for deflection averages out, any small error in
positioning the TG coil relative to the earths
magnetic field Bh .

Result
The value of earths magnetic field by using tangent
galvanometer is
H = _________, G = _________T
Precautions
1. The battery should be freshly charged.
2. The magnetic needle should swing freely in the
horizontal plane.
3. The plane of coil must be set in magnetic
meridian.
4. All the readings must be adjusted between 30o
and 600.
Sources of error
1. There may be a magnetic material around the
apparatus.
2. The plane of the coil will not be exactly in the
magnetic meridian.
