Two galvanometers ' \(\mathrm{G}_{1}\) ' and ' \(\mathrm{G}_{2}\) ' require \(2 \mathrm{~mA}\) and \(3 \mathrm{~mA}\) respectively to produce the same deflection. Then

  1. A \(\mathrm{G}_{1}\) and \(\mathrm{G}_{2}\) are equally sensitive.
  2. B \(\mathrm{G}_{1}\) is more sensitive than \(\mathrm{G}_{2}\).
  3. C \(\mathrm{G}_{1}\) is less sensitive than \(\mathrm{G}_{2}\)
  4. D sensitivity of \(G_{2}\) is \(\frac{3}{2}\) times that of \(G_{1}\).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{G}_{1}\) is more sensitive than \(\mathrm{G}_{2}\).

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(S \propto \frac{1}{I}\) \(\frac{S_1}{S_2} = \frac{I_2}{I_1} = \frac{3 \mathrm{~mA}}{2 \mathrm{~mA}} = \frac{3}{2}\)
