In the experiment to determine the galvanometer resistance by half-deflection method, the plot of \(\frac{1}{\theta}\) vs the resistance \((R)\) of the resistance box is shown in the figure. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is _______ \(\times 10^{-1} \mathrm{~A} /\) division. [The source has emf 2V]

  1. A \(5\)
  2. B \(6\)
  3. C \(7\)
  4. D \(8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(i=K \theta\) \(\frac{2}{G+R}=K \theta\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\theta}=\frac{(G+R) K}{2}=R\left(\frac{K}{2}\right)+\frac{K G}{2}\) \(\text {Slope }=\frac{K}{2}=\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow K=0.5=5 \times 10^{-1} A\)
