### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Current Sensitivity**: - Current sensitivity of a galvanometer refers to how much the needle of the galvanometer deflects for a given amount of current passing through it. It essentially measures the responsiveness of the galvanometer to the electric current. 2. **Defining Current Sensitivity**: - Mathematically, current sensitivity (S) can be defined as the ratio of the deflection (θ) of the galvanometer to the current (I) flowing through it. - This can be expressed as: ...
