Galvanometer 50-0-50mV (Product Code: SLE/PHY/181) is a centre-zero moving coil meter with a 50-0-50 scale, used for DC-only readings that can swing either side of zero in school and college electricity practicals. Its colour-coded 4 mm socket terminals make it a quick-to-wire galvanometer for school labs in India. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India; please confirm the range unit (mV or mA) when ordering, as explained below.

| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
With its pointer resting at the middle of the scale, this meter shows both the size and the direction of a small DC reading. Typical uses are electromagnetic induction demonstrations, where a magnet pushed into a coil and pulled out swings the needle one way and then the other, and null-point detection in bridge and potentiometer circuits.
Connect it only to DC circuits and follow the colour coding on the terminals. When trying a new circuit, put a rheostat or high resistance in series first so the pointer stays on scale, then reduce it gradually. It pairs naturally with the coils and magnets of an electromagnetic induction kit.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and supplies this 50-0-50 galvanometer from Ambala, Haryana, to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers in India and international markets. It is offered as a bought-in meter, so a lab can source its meters, leads and power supplies together on one quotation.
