The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the deflection \( \phi \) in a moving coil galvanometer, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Torque in a Moving Coil Galvanometer**: The torque \( \tau \) experienced by a coil in a magnetic field is given by the formula: \[ \tau = n \cdot i \cdot A \cdot B \] where: - \( n \) = number of turns in the coil, - \( i \) = current flowing through the coil, - \( A \) = area of the coil, - \( B \) = magnetic field strength. 2. **Relating Torque to Deflection**: The torque is also related to the deflection \( \phi \) by the spring constant \( k \): \[ \tau = k \cdot \phi \] This means that the torque exerted on the coil due to the magnetic field is balanced by the torque due to the spring. 3. **Setting the Two Expressions for Torque Equal**: Since both expressions represent the torque, we can set them equal to each other: \[ n \cdot i \cdot A \cdot B = k \cdot \phi \] 4. **Solving for Deflection \( \phi \)**: To find the deflection \( \phi \), we rearrange the equation: \[ \phi = \frac{n \cdot A \cdot B}{k} \cdot i \] 5. **Identifying the Correct Option**: Now, we can see that the expression we derived matches one of the options given in the question. The correct expression for the deflection \( \phi \) is: \[ \phi = \frac{n \cdot A \cdot B}{k} \cdot i \] This corresponds to **Option 3**: \( \frac{n \cdot A \cdot B}{k} \cdot i \). ### Final Answer: The deflection \( \phi \) on the scale by a pointer attached to the spring in a moving coil galvanometer is given by: \[ \phi = \frac{n \cdot A \cdot B}{k} \cdot i \] Thus, the correct option is **Option 3**.
