What is current sensitivity of galvanometer ? How it can be increase ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1. For galvanometer,
`kphi=NIAB`
`thereforephi/I=(NAB)/k`
Current sensitivity of galvanometer `(phi/I)`, is deflection per unit current.
2. To increase the sensitivity is to increase the number of turns N.
