The correct Answer is:
To find the value of the torsional constant of the spring in a moving coil galvanometer, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Torque on the Coil**: The torque (\( \tau \)) acting on the coil when a current \( I_0 \) passes through it is given by the formula: \[ \tau = N \cdot I_0 \cdot A \cdot B \] where: - \( N \) = number of turns in the coil, - \( A \) = area of the coil, - \( B \) = magnetic field strength, - \( I_0 \) = current flowing through the coil. 2. **Restoring Torque**: The restoring torque (\( \tau_r \)) exerted by the spring is proportional to the angle of deflection (\( \phi \)): \[ \tau_r = K \cdot \phi \] where: - \( K \) = torsional constant of the spring, - \( \phi \) = angle of deflection (given as \( \frac{\pi}{2} \)). 3. **Set the Torques Equal**: At equilibrium, the deflecting torque is equal to the restoring torque: \[ N \cdot I_0 \cdot A \cdot B = K \cdot \phi \] 4. **Substituting the Deflection Angle**: Substitute \( \phi = \frac{\pi}{2} \) into the equation: \[ N \cdot I_0 \cdot A \cdot B = K \cdot \frac{\pi}{2} \] 5. **Solve for the Torsional Constant \( K \)**: Rearranging the equation to solve for \( K \): \[ K = \frac{N \cdot I_0 \cdot A \cdot B}{\frac{\pi}{2}} = \frac{2 \cdot N \cdot I_0 \cdot A \cdot B}{\pi} \] ### Final Answer: The value of the torsional constant \( K \) of the spring is: \[ K = \frac{2 \cdot N \cdot I_0 \cdot A \cdot B}{\pi} \]
