Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Galvanometer**: A galvanometer is an instrument used to detect and measure small electric currents. It consists of a coil of wire suspended in a magnetic field. 2. **Magnetic Field Setup**: In a typical galvanometer setup, there is a magnetic field created by permanent magnets. This magnetic field has a North and South polarity. 3. **Current-Carrying Loop**: Inside this magnetic field, there is a loop (or coil) through which current (I) flows. The area of this loop is denoted as A. ...
