Sensitivity of a moving coil galvanomet...

Sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer can be increased by

A

decreasing the number of turns of coil

B

increasing the number of turns of coil

C

decreasing the area of a coil

D

by using a weak magnet

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Sensitivity of gavanometer is the deflection produced for a unit current flowing through it i.e
`(phi)/(i)=(NBA)/(C )`
To increase the sensitivity of galvanometer we should
(i) increase the numbver of turns (N) of coil
(ii) increase the area of coil (A)
(iii) use apowerful magnet
