AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

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

  1. A torsional constant is \(8 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{rad}^{-1}\)
  2. B current sensitivity is \(40 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{A}^{-1}\)
  3. C torsional constant is \(3 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{rad}^{-1}\)
  4. D current sensitivity is \(40 \operatorname{deg} A^{-1}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) current sensitivity is \(40 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{A}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, for a moving coil galvanometer, Effective area, \(A=4 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}^2\) Magnetic field, \(B=5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{Wbm}^{-2}\) Angle of deflection, \(\phi=0.2 \mathrm{rad}\) Electric current, \(I=5 \mathrm{~mA}=5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}\) By using…
