Galvanometer Kit (Product Code: SCL-365/018) is a current-measurement kit built around a centre-zero DC galvanometer, used for sensitive current detection, bridge balancing and wire-resistance experiments in school and college physics labs. Its 30-0-30 galvanometer reads 20 µA per division and comes with a five-decade resistor box, a 1.5–12 V / 3 A supply and digital meters. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A centre-zero galvanometer shows both the size and the direction of a small current, which makes it the natural detector for balance methods. With the resistor box and the U-shaped wires, students can set up a Wheatstone bridge and adjust the resistances until the needle rests at zero, then calculate the unknown resistance. The digital ammeter and voltmeter, the 1.5–12 V supply and the rheostat also allow straightforward Ohm's law measurements on the same bench.
For resistivity work, students measure the length of a wire with the metric ruler and its thickness with the diameter gauge, find its resistance, and calculate resistivity from the cross-sectional area. Protect the galvanometer by starting with a high resistance in series and closing the switch only while taking a reading; if the needle swings hard against its stop, open the circuit at once. For schools buying galvanometer apparatus in India or overseas, the kit replaces several separate purchases with one coordinated set.
The Galvanometer Kit is an original product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is its OEM. The kit is assembled at the company's licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and dispatched factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers.
Buyers who need a replacement galvanometer, extra cables or a repeat batch deal with the maker rather than an agent — ask us. The ScienceLab profile page has more about the company.

How sensitive is the galvanometer in the kit?
The galvanometer in the Galvanometer Kit (SCL-365/018) is a DC 30-0-30 centre-zero instrument with a sensitivity of 20 µA per division, so it detects small currents in either direction and suits null-point and bridge experiments.
What values does the resistor box provide?
The resistor box in the Galvanometer Kit (SCL-365/018) has five decades: 10 × 0.1 Ω, 10 × 1 Ω, 10 × 10 Ω, 10 × 100 Ω and 10 × 1000 Ω, letting students set resistance in small steps for bridge and Ohm's law circuits.
What else is included in the Galvanometer Kit?
Besides the galvanometer and resistor box, the Galvanometer Kit (SCL-365/018) includes a 1.5–12 V / 3 A power supply, a 36 V DC switch, a 22 Ω rheostat, a 0–10 A digital ammeter, a 0–5 V digital voltmeter, 16 flexible cables, four U-shaped wires, banana-type sockets, a metric ruler and a wire diameter gauge.
How should the galvanometer be protected during experiments?
To protect the galvanometer in the Galvanometer Kit (SCL-365/018), start every circuit with a high resistance in series, close the switch only while reading, and open the circuit immediately if the needle swings hard against its stop. Never connect it directly across the power supply.
Who manufactures the Galvanometer Kit?
The Galvanometer Kit (SCL-365/018) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutions, dealers and importers buy it directly from the manufacturer.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Galvanometer Kit?
Whether a calibration certificate can be supplied for the galvanometer or the digital meters in the Galvanometer Kit (SCL-365/018) should be discussed with us before ordering. Please raise it on the contact page when you request a quotation.
