The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will calculate the torsional constant and the current sensitivity of the galvanometer using the given parameters. ### Given Data: - Effective area of the coil, \( A = 4 \times 10^{-2} \, m^2 \) - Magnetic field strength, \( B = 5 \times 10^{-2} \, Wb/m^2 \) - Deflection angle, \( \phi = 0.2 \, rad \) - Current, \( I = 5 \, mA = 5 \times 10^{-3} \, A \) ### Step 1: Calculate the Torsional Constant The formula for the torsional constant \( k \) of a moving coil galvanometer is given by: \[ k = \frac{IAB}{\phi} \] Substituting the values into the formula: \[ k = \frac{(5 \times 10^{-3} \, A) \times (4 \times 10^{-2} \, m^2) \times (5 \times 10^{-2} \, Wb/m^2)}{0.2 \, rad} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ = 5 \times 10^{-3} \times 4 \times 10^{-2} \times 5 \times 10^{-2} \] \[ = 5 \times 4 \times 5 \times 10^{-3} \times 10^{-2} \times 10^{-2} \] \[ = 100 \times 10^{-7} = 1 \times 10^{-5} \] Now, dividing by the deflection: \[ k = \frac{1 \times 10^{-5}}{0.2} = 5 \times 10^{-5} \, N \cdot m/rad \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Current Sensitivity Current sensitivity \( S \) is defined as the deflection per unit current: \[ S = \frac{\phi}{I} \] Substituting the values: \[ S = \frac{0.2 \, rad}{5 \times 10^{-3} \, A} \] Calculating: \[ S = \frac{0.2}{5 \times 10^{-3}} = 40 \, rad/A \] ### Summary of Results - Torsional constant \( k = 5 \times 10^{-5} \, N \cdot m/rad \) - Current sensitivity \( S = 40 \, rad/A \) ### Conclusion The correct options based on the calculations are: 1. Torsional constant \( k = 5 \times 10^{-5} \, N \cdot m/rad \) (Option 1 is correct) 2. Current sensitivity \( S = 40 \, rad/A \) (Option 2 is correct)
