Dear student
Earth's magnetic field. Hint: A tangent galvanometer is an initial measuring device used to measure electric current. It works by using a compass needle to compare the magnetic field generated by an unknown current to the Earth's magnetic field. Tangent galvanometer is used to measure steady currents.
