A current of \(\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\) A, produces a deflection of \(60^{\circ}\) in a tangent galvanometer. The reduction factor is

  1. A \(\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \mathrm{A}\)
  2. B \(\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \mathrm{A}\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{~A}\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) \mathrm{A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \mathrm{A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For tangent galvanometer
\(I =K \tan \theta\)
\(K=\frac{I}{\tan \theta}\)
\(K=\frac{2 / \sqrt{3}}{\tan 60^{\circ}}\)
\(K =\frac{2}{3} \mathrm{~A}\)
