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]

- A \(5\)
- B \(6\)
- C \(7\)
- D \(8\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(i=K \theta\) \(\frac{2}{G+R}=K \theta\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\theta}=\frac{(G+R) K}{2}=R\left(\frac{K}{2}\right)+\frac{K G}{2}\) \(\text {Slope }=\frac{K}{2}=\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow K=0.5=5 \times 10^{-1} A\)
