$A$ galvanometer whose resistance is $120 \, \Omega$ gives full-scale deflection with a current of $0.05 \, A$. To enable it to read a maximum current of $10 \, A$,a shunt resistance is added in parallel with it. The resistance of the ammeter so formed is .............. $\Omega$.

  • A
    $0.06$
  • B
    $0.006$
  • C
    $0.6$
  • D

$A$ moving coil sensitive galvanometer shows a large deflection. To control its speed of deflection (damping),which of the following is used?

The coil of a moving coil galvanometer has an effective area of $4 \times 10^{-2} \, m^2$. It is suspended in a magnetic field of $5 \times 10^{-2} \, Wb \, m^{-2}$. If the deflection in the galvanometer coil is $0.2 \, rad$, when a current of $5 \, mA$ is passed through it, then

Two moving coil galvanometers,$X$ and $Y$,have coils with resistances $10 \Omega$ and $14 \Omega$,cross-sectional areas $4.8 \times 10^{-3} \ m^2$ and $2.4 \times 10^{-3} \ m^2$,and number of turns $30$ and $45$ respectively. They are placed in magnetic fields of $0.25 \ T$ and $0.50 \ T$ respectively. Find the ratio of their current sensitivities and the ratio of their voltage sensitivities.

$A$ galvanometer has a deflection of $25$ divisions for a current of $0.1 \ A$ flowing through it. Then the current sensitivity of the galvanometer is (in $div/A$)

The ratios of the voltage sensitivities,resistances and areas of the coils of two moving coil galvanometers $A$ and $B$ are $4:3$,$3:4$ and $1:2$ respectively. If the number of turns of the coil of galvanometer $A$ is $200$,then the number of turns of the coil of galvanometer $B$ is (All other quantities remain same in both the cases)
