The correct Answer is:
To find the relationship between voltage sensitivity \( S_v \) and current sensitivity \( S \) of a moving coil galvanometer, we can start by defining both terms mathematically. 1. **Define Voltage Sensitivity \( S_v \)**: Voltage sensitivity is defined as the deflection per unit voltage applied to the galvanometer. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ S_v = \frac{NAB}{K \cdot R} \] where: - \( N \) = number of turns in the coil, - \( A \) = area of the coil, - \( B \) = magnetic field strength, - \( K \) = torsional constant of the galvanometer, - \( R \) = resistance of the galvanometer. 2. **Define Current Sensitivity \( S \)**: Current sensitivity is defined as the deflection per unit current flowing through the galvanometer. It can be expressed as: \[ S = \frac{NAB}{K} \] 3. **Relate Voltage Sensitivity to Current Sensitivity**: To find the relationship between \( S_v \) and \( S \), we can take the ratio of \( S_v \) to \( S \): \[ \frac{S_v}{S} = \frac{\frac{NAB}{K \cdot R}}{\frac{NAB}{K}} = \frac{1}{R} \] 4. **Rearranging the Equation**: From the above ratio, we can express current sensitivity \( S \) in terms of voltage sensitivity \( S_v \): \[ S = R \cdot S_v \] 5. **Final Relationship**: Therefore, the relationship between the current sensitivity \( S \) and the voltage sensitivity \( S_v \) of a moving coil galvanometer is: \[ S = G \cdot S_v \] where \( G \) is the resistance of the galvanometer. ### Summary: The current sensitivity \( S \) is equal to the resistance \( G \) of the galvanometer multiplied by the voltage sensitivity \( S_v \). ---
