The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts as given in the question. ### Part (i) 1. **Understanding Torque in a Galvanometer**: The torque \( \tau \) experienced by the coil in a magnetic field is given by: \[ \tau = k \cdot i \] where \( k \) is a constant and \( i \) is the current. 2. **Torque from Magnetic Field**: The torque can also be expressed as: \[ \tau = N \cdot A \cdot B \cdot i \] where \( N \) is the number of coils, \( A \) is the area of the coils, and \( B \) is the magnetic field strength. 3. **Equating the Two Expressions for Torque**: From the above two equations, we can equate: \[ k \cdot i = N \cdot A \cdot B \cdot i \] Dividing both sides by \( i \) (assuming \( i \neq 0 \)): \[ k = N \cdot A \cdot B \] This is our **Equation 1**. 4. **Finding Torsional Constant**: The torsional constant \( C \) is defined as: \[ C = \frac{\tau}{\theta} \] where \( \theta \) is the angular deflection. Given that for current \( i \), the deflection \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \): \[ C = \frac{N \cdot A \cdot B \cdot i}{\frac{\pi}{2}} = \frac{2N \cdot A \cdot B \cdot i}{\pi} \] 5. **Setting Equal to Given Torsional Constant**: We are given that: \[ C = \frac{x \cdot B \cdot i \cdot N \cdot A}{\pi} \] Setting the two expressions for \( C \) equal: \[ \frac{2N \cdot A \cdot B \cdot i}{\pi} = \frac{x \cdot B \cdot i \cdot N \cdot A}{\pi} \] Canceling \( B \), \( i \), \( N \), and \( A \) (assuming they are non-zero): \[ 2 = x \] 6. **Finding \( x^2 \)**: Thus, we find: \[ x^2 = 2^2 = 4 \] ### Part (ii) 1. **Understanding Charge Passage**: When a charge \( Q \) is passed through the galvanometer, it causes a change in angular momentum. The change in angular momentum \( \Delta L \) is given by: \[ \Delta L = \tau \cdot dt \] 2. **Expressing Angular Momentum**: The angular momentum can also be expressed as: \[ L = I \cdot \omega \] where \( I \) is the moment of inertia and \( \omega \) is the angular velocity. 3. **Setting Up the Equation**: From the torque we calculated earlier: \[ \tau = N \cdot A \cdot B \cdot i \] Thus: \[ I \cdot \omega = N \cdot A \cdot B \cdot i \cdot dt \] 4. **Integrating**: The integral of \( i \cdot dt \) gives the charge \( Q \): \[ I \cdot \omega = N \cdot A \cdot B \cdot Q \] Therefore: \[ \omega = \frac{N \cdot A \cdot B \cdot Q}{I} \] 5. **Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy**: The loss in kinetic energy is: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \] The gain in potential energy is: \[ PE = \frac{1}{2} C \theta_{max}^2 \] Setting these equal gives: \[ \frac{1}{2} I \left(\frac{N \cdot A \cdot B \cdot Q}{I}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2} C \theta_{max}^2 \] 6. **Substituting for C**: Substitute \( C = \frac{2NAB}{\pi} \): \[ \frac{1}{2} I \left(\frac{N \cdot A \cdot B \cdot Q}{I}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2NAB}{\pi} \cdot \theta_{max}^2 \] 7. **Solving for \( \theta_{max} \)**: Rearranging gives: \[ \theta_{max}^2 = \frac{N^2 A^2 B^2 Q^2}{\pi I} \] Setting this equal to the given expression: \[ \theta_{max} = Q \sqrt{\frac{BN \pi A}{xI}} \] 8. **Comparing Expressions**: By comparing the two expressions for \( \theta_{max} \): \[ \frac{N^2 A^2 B^2 Q^2}{\pi I} = Q^2 \frac{BN \pi A}{xI} \] Cancelling \( Q^2 \), \( B \), \( N \), \( A \), and \( I \) gives: \[ x = 2 \] 9. **Finding \( x^2 \)**: Thus, we find: \[ x^2 = 4 \] ### Final Answers (i) \( x^2 = 4 \) (ii) \( x^2 = 4 \)

To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts as given in the question. ### Part (i) 1. **Understanding Torque in a Galvanometer**: The torque \( \tau \) experienced by the coil in a magnetic field is given by: \[ \tau = k \cdot i ...
