Vedclass · Answer

(D) For a moving coil galvanometer,the torque is given by $	au = NIAB \sin 	heta = k \phi$,where $N$ is the number of turns,$I$ is the current,$A$ is the area,$B$ is the magnetic field,and $k$ is the torsional constant.The current sensitivity is defined as $S_i = \frac{\phi}{I} = \frac{NBA}{k}$.If $N$ is doubled,$S_i$ becomes $2 	imes \frac{NBA}{k}$,so Statement $I$ is true.The voltage sensitivity is defined as $S_v = \frac{\phi}{V} = \frac{\phi}{IR} = \frac{S_i}{R} = \frac{NBA}{kR}$.When the number of turns $N$ is doubled,the length of the wire in the coil also doubles,which means the resistance $R$ of the coil also doubles $(R \propto N)$.Therefore,$S_v = \frac{(2N)BA}{k(2R)} = \frac{NBA}{kR}$.Since $S_v$ remains unchanged,Statement $II$ is false.

$A$ galvanometer has a resistance of $80 \Omega$ and it is shunted with a resistance of $20 \Omega$. If $20 \%$ of the main current flows through the galvanometer, what is the value of the main current (in $\text{ A}$)?

If only $2 \%$ of the main current is to be passed through a galvanometer of resistance $G$,then the resistance of the shunt connected to it will be:

$A$ certain current passing through a galvanometer produces a deflection of $100$ divisions. When a shunt of $1 \ \Omega$ is connected, the deflection reduces to $1$ division. The galvanometer resistance is: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ galvanometer of $10 \,\Omega$ resistance gives full scale deflection with $0.01 \, A$ of current. It is to be converted into an ammeter for measuring $10 \, A$ current. The value of shunt resistance required will be
