Why is the coil of a dead beat galvanometer wound on a metal frame?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The coil of a dead beat galvanometer is wound on a metal frame because éddy curent produced in the metal fame opposes the oscillatory motion of the coil and coil comes to rest immediately.

It is desired to measure the magnitude of field between the poles of a powerful loud speaker magnet. A small flat search coil of area 2 cm^2 with 25 closely wound turns, is positioned normal to the field direction, and then quickly snatched out of the field region. Equivalently, one can give it a quick 90^@ turn to bring its plane parallel to the field direction). The total charge flown in the coil (measured by a ballistic galvanometer connected to coil) is 7.5 mC. The combined resistance of the coil and the galvanometer is 0.50 Omega . Estimate the field strength of magnet.
