Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Moving Coil Galvanometer**: - A moving coil galvanometer is an instrument used to measure small electric currents. It operates on the principle that a current-carrying coil placed in a magnetic field experiences a torque, causing it to rotate. 2. **Defining Current Sensitivity**: - Current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is defined as the deflection (θ) produced in the galvanometer when a unit current (I = 1 A) passes through it. - Mathematically, it can be expressed as: ...
