JEE Advanced · Physics · 20. Magnetism & Current

Statement 1 The sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is increased by placing a suitable magnetic material as a core inside the coil.
and Statement 2 Soft iron has a high magnetic permeability and cannot be easily magnetized or demagnetized.

  1. A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  2. B Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  3. C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
  4. D Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(c \phi=B I N A\)
\(
\therefore \phi=\left(\frac{B N A}{c}\right) I
\)
Using iron core, value of magnetic field increases. So, deflection increases for same current. Hence, sensitivity increases. Soft iron can be easily magnetized or demagnetized.
\(\therefore\) correct option is (c).
