The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the deflection (Φ) on the scale by a pointer attached to the spring in a moving coil galvanometer, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Torque in a Galvanometer**: In a moving coil galvanometer, the coil experiences a torque when a current passes through it. The torque (τ) acting on the coil in a magnetic field is given by the formula: \[ \tau = N \cdot I \cdot A \cdot B \] where: - \(N\) = number of turns in the coil - \(I\) = current through the coil - \(A\) = area of the coil - \(B\) = magnetic field strength 2. **Counter Torque**: The coil also experiences a counter torque due to the spring attached to it, which opposes the movement of the coil. This counter torque can be expressed as: \[ \tau_{counter} = k \cdot \phi \] where: - \(k\) = torsional constant of the spring - \(\phi\) = deflection angle of the coil 3. **Setting Up the Equation**: At equilibrium, the magnetic torque is balanced by the counter torque: \[ N \cdot I \cdot A \cdot B = k \cdot \phi \] 4. **Solving for Deflection (Φ)**: Rearranging the equation to solve for \(\phi\): \[ \phi = \frac{N \cdot A \cdot B}{k} \cdot I \] This equation shows that the deflection \(\phi\) is directly proportional to the current \(I\) flowing through the coil. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the deflection \(\phi\) on the scale by the pointer attached to the spring in a moving coil galvanometer is given by: \[ \phi = \frac{N \cdot A \cdot B}{k} \cdot I \]
