AI Generated Solution

To find the maximum current that a galvanometer can measure, we can use the relationship between current sensitivity, the number of divisions, and the maximum current. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the given values - Number of divisions in the galvanometer (N) = 30 - Current sensitivity (S) = 20 µA/division ### Step 2: Use the formula for maximum current The maximum current (I_G) that the galvanometer can measure is given by the formula: ...
