What is one difference between a galvanometer and an electric motor?

A galvanometer uses an electric current to move.
An electric motor uses electrical energy to spin.
An electric motor causes something to move.
An electric motor’s armature spins continuously.

One difference between a galvanometer and an electric motor is that a galvanometer is designed to measure small electric currents, while an electric motor is designed to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce motion. In other words, a galvanometer is a measuring instrument, while an electric motor is a device that produces motion.
