The instrument is galvanometer.
A galvanometer shows both the direction and magnitude of a current.
It uses a moving coil which is free to rotate between the permanent magnet.
When current flows through the coil it becomes deflected.
The deflection is proportional to the flowing current.
The orientation of the deflection gives the the direction of the current.
