The correct Answer is:
To find the voltage sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer, we can use the relationship between current sensitivity and voltage sensitivity. The current sensitivity \( S_i \) is given as \( I \) divisions per mA, and the resistance \( R \) of the galvanometer is 200 Ω. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between current sensitivity and voltage sensitivity The voltage sensitivity \( S_v \) of a galvanometer can be expressed in terms of its current sensitivity \( S_i \) and its resistance \( R \) using the formula: \[ S_v = S_i \times R \] ### Step 2: Convert current sensitivity to a suitable unit Since \( S_i \) is given in divisions per mA, we need to convert it to divisions per A for consistency with the resistance in ohms. If \( S_i = k \) divisions per mA, then: \[ S_i = k \times 1000 \text{ divisions per A} \] ### Step 3: Substitute values into the formula Now, substituting \( S_i \) and \( R \) into the formula for voltage sensitivity: \[ S_v = (k \times 1000) \times 200 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression This simplifies to: \[ S_v = 200k \times 1000 = 200000k \text{ divisions per V} \] ### Final Result Thus, the voltage sensitivity \( S_v \) of the moving coil galvanometer is: \[ S_v = 200000k \text{ divisions per V} \]
