Galvanometer Ballistic Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-PLE-10816
Quick Answer: The Galvanometer Ballistic, or ballistic galvanometer, is designed so that its indicating needle (or mirror) deflects in proportion to the total charge passing through its moving coil, or to a voltage pulse of short duration.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Deflection proportional to the total charge passing through the moving coil
- Also responds to a voltage pulse of short duration
- Indicating needle (or mirror)
- Smaller torque and higher inertia in the coil than a conventional galvanometer
- Any conventional galvanometer can also be used as a ballistic type

About This Product
A ballistic galvanometer measures the total charge in a short pulse of current rather than a steady current. Its moving coil has high inertia, so it swings slowly, and the first maximum deflection is taken as a measure of the charge that passed. In teaching laboratories it is associated with experiments on charge, capacitors and electromagnetic induction. School Lab Equipment India supplies the Galvanometer Ballistic across India and can export it to Eswatini, Burundi, Argentina, Tanzania and Paraguay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does a ballistic galvanometer measure?
Its needle (or mirror) deflects in proportion to the total charge passing through the moving coil, or to a voltage pulse of short duration.
Q2. How does it differ from a conventional galvanometer?
The ballistic type has smaller torque and higher inertia in the coil, although any conventional galvanometer may also be used as a ballistic type.
