A moving coil galvanometer coil has a coil of area A, number of turns N. The radial magnetic field present is B. the moment of inertia of the coil is I about its rotation axis. The torque is applied by the magnetic field on the coil of the galvanometer when current `I_(0)` passes through it and produces a deflection of `pi//2` of the pointer. Then answer the following questions based on the paragraph.
The sensitivity of the instrument is

A

`pi//2`

`pi//10`

C

`pi//2I_(0)`

D

`2 pi//I_(0)`

The correct Answer is:
To find the sensitivity of the moving coil galvanometer, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Sensitivity**: The sensitivity of a galvanometer is defined as the deflection produced per unit current. Mathematically, it is given by: \[ \text{Sensitivity} = \frac{\phi}{I_0} \] where \(\phi\) is the deflection in radians and \(I_0\) is the current passing through the coil. 2. **Identify Given Values**: From the problem statement, we have: - Deflection, \(\phi = \frac{\pi}{2}\) radians - Current, \(I_0\) (the current is unspecified, but we will keep it as a variable for now). 3. **Substitute the Values into the Sensitivity Formula**: Now, substituting the known values into the sensitivity formula: \[ \text{Sensitivity} = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}}{I_0} \] 4. **Final Expression for Sensitivity**: Thus, the sensitivity of the galvanometer can be expressed as: \[ \text{Sensitivity} = \frac{\pi}{2 I_0} \] ### Conclusion: The sensitivity of the moving coil galvanometer is \(\frac{\pi}{2 I_0}\). ---
