Statement -1 : The sensitvity of a moving coil galvanometer is increased by placing a suitable magnetic material as a core inside the coil.
Statement - 2: Soft iron has a high magnetic permeability and cannot be easily magnetized or demagnetized.

A

Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.

B

Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement 1.

C

Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.

D

Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`cphi=BINA`
`phi=((BNA)/c)I`
Using iron core, value of magnetic field increases. So,
deflection increases for the same current. Hence, senstivity
increases.
Soft iron can be easily magnetized or demagnetized.
`:.` correct option is (c).
