Classification of Sedimentary Rocks (Part 1). Sedimentary rocks are classified based on their texture and composition. Detrital sediment has a clastic (broken) texture. Chemical and organic sediments have a non-clastic texture, and are classified based solely on their composition.
Galvanometer vs Ammeter. Ammeter and galvanometer are two devices that are used in the field of electronic and electrical measurements. Galvanometer is a very important device that is used to develop other measuring devices. It is also used to measure electrical currents. Ammeter is also a device that is used to measure electrical current.
An instrument that detects small electric currents and indicates their direction and relative strength. Current flowing through the galvanometer passes through a coil near a magnetized needle on a pivot; the strength of the current in the coil regulates the strength of a magnetic field that displaces the needle. Galvanometers can be used directly as ammeters, and are the core element of many ohmmeters and voltmeters.
