Direction of deflection in a galvanometer?

[phy1210]

In which direction will the pointer move when current is passed?

------->-------(|)--------->----------

[Galvanometer]

Does it move to the right?

AND

There is another one that is connected from top to bottom:

(|) [Galvanometer]

Where will the (|) move?

Have you connected the galvanometer to a current source? Or is this some kind of homework question?

Yes of course! Not related to homework.

I don't know how it functions in practical. Can you predict the direction of the deflection?
