The coil of a moving coil galvanometer is wound over a metallic frame

  1. A to increase moment of inertia
  2. B to provide electromagnetic damping
  3. C to increase its sensitivity
  4. D to reduce hysteresis loss
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) to provide electromagnetic damping

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When the coil moves, eddy currents are induced in the metallic frame which produce a magnetic force that opposes the motion. This electromagnetic damping ensures the pointer comes to rest quickly at its equilibrium position instead of oscillating back and forth. B) to provide…
