$A$ moving coil galvanometer has a coil with $175$ turns and an area of $1 \, cm^2$. It uses a torsion band with a torsion constant of $10^{-6} \, N \cdot m/rad$. The coil is placed in a magnetic field $B$ parallel to its plane. The coil deflects by $10^{\circ}$ for a current of $1 \, mA$. The value of $B$ (in Tesla) is approximately:

Two tangent galvanometers $A$ and $B$ are identical except in their number of turns. They are connected in series. On passing a current through them,deflections of $60^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ are produced. The ratio of the number of turns in $A$ and $B$ is

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
