$A$ galvanometer of resistance '$G$' is shunted by a resistance of '$S$' ohm. To keep the main current in the circuit unchanged,the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer is:

  • A
    $\frac{G^2}{S+G}$
  • B
    $\frac{G}{S+G}$
  • C
    $\frac{S^2}{G+S}$
  • D
    $\frac{GS}{S+G}$

What is the value of resistance to double the value of number of turns of coil for a galvanometer? Why?

The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer is

$STATEMENT-1$: The sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is increased by placing a suitable magnetic material as a core inside the coil.
$STATEMENT-2$: Soft iron has a high magnetic permeability and cannot be easily magnetized or demagnetized.

$A$ moving coil galvanometer has a rectangular wire coil of enclosed area $0.001 \ m^2$ and $500$ turns. The coil operates in a radial magnetic field of $0.2 \ T$ and carries a current of $6 \pi \times 10^{-8} \ A$. If the torsional spring constant is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ N-m/rad$, then the angular deflection of the coil in radians is

The sensitivity of a galvanometer that measures current is decreased by $\frac{1}{40}$ times by using a shunt resistance of $10 \Omega$. Then,the value of the resistance of the galvanometer is (in $\Omega$)
