The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the principles of tangent galvanometers and the tangent law of magnetism. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: We have two tangent galvanometers connected in series, producing deflections of \(60^\circ\) and \(45^\circ\). We need to find the ratio of the number of turns in their coils. 2. **Using the Tangent Law**: According to the tangent law, the magnetic field \(B\) produced by a tangent galvanometer is given by: \[ B = \mu_0 \frac{N I}{2a} \] where \(N\) is the number of turns, \(I\) is the current, and \(a\) is the radius of the coil. 3. **Setting Up the Equations**: For the first galvanometer (deflection \(60^\circ\)): \[ B_1 = \mu_0 \frac{N_1 I}{2a} = B_h \tan(60^\circ) \] For the second galvanometer (deflection \(45^\circ\)): \[ B_2 = \mu_0 \frac{N_2 I}{2a} = B_h \tan(45^\circ) \] 4. **Finding the Ratio of Magnetic Fields**: From the above equations, we can express the ratio of the magnetic fields: \[ \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{\tan(60^\circ)}{\tan(45^\circ)} \] 5. **Calculating the Tangents**: We know: \[ \tan(60^\circ) = \sqrt{3}, \quad \tan(45^\circ) = 1 \] Therefore: \[ \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{1} = \sqrt{3} \] 6. **Relating the Number of Turns**: Since the magnetic fields are proportional to the number of turns: \[ \frac{N_1}{N_2} = \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \sqrt{3} \] 7. **Final Ratio**: Thus, the ratio of the number of turns in the coils is: \[ \frac{N_1}{N_2} = \sqrt{3} : 1 \] ### Conclusion: The ratio of the number of turns in the coils of the two galvanometers is \(\sqrt{3} : 1\).
