Displacement current and galvanometer

AI Thread Summary
A galvanometer is typically used to detect direct currents, but its ability to detect displacement currents from time-varying electric fields is a topic of inquiry. The characteristics of the galvanometer, including its sensitivity and response time, are crucial for such applications. The connection method in the experiment can influence the galvanometer's effectiveness in measuring displacement currents. Additionally, the interaction with the medium's polarization may play a role in the current detection process. Understanding these factors is essential for accurately assessing the galvanometer's capabilities in this context.

Dear All,

I have a doubt whether galvanometer detects displacement currents due to time varying electric field or not?please let me know,if anybody have an idea about this.

Regards

Arvind

What would be the characteristics of the galvanometer you are proposing? How would it be 'connected' into the experiment? Would the current appear in the polarisation of the medium?

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
