The current sensitivity of a moving coil...

The current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer increases by `20%` when its resistance is increased by a factor 2. Calculate by what factor does the voltage sensitivity change?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between current sensitivity, voltage sensitivity, and resistance in a moving coil galvanometer. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Current Sensitivity**: - The current sensitivity (S) of a galvanometer is defined as the deflection per unit current. - Initially, let the current sensitivity be \( S_0 \) and the initial current be \( I_0 \). ...
