### Step-by-Step Solution: **1. Working Principle of a Moving Coil Galvanometer:** The working principle of a moving coil galvanometer is based on the interaction between a magnetic field and a current-carrying coil. When a current flows through the coil, it generates a magnetic field around it. If this coil is placed in a uniform magnetic field, it experiences a torque due to the interaction of the magnetic field with the magnetic field produced by the coil. This torque causes the coil to rotate, leading to a deflection of the pointer attached to it. - **Torque (τ)** experienced by the coil can be expressed as: \[ ...
