The current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is doubled by making the number of turns double. Then its voltage sensitivity will be: |
Double Half 1/4 times Remain unchanged |
Remain unchanged |
The correct answer is Option (4) → Remain unchanged Current sensitivity of galvanometer is, $\frac{\phi}{I}=\frac{N+B}{K}$ ...(1) Shy, Voltage sensitivity is, $\frac{\phi}{V}=\frac{NAB}{K}\frac{I}{V}=\frac{NAB}{K}\frac{1}{R}$ ⇒ Voltage sensitivity = Current sensitivity × $\frac{1}{R}$ If the current sensitivity is double, resistance also becomes twice. ∴ Voltage sensitivity = $2×\frac{\phi}{I}×\frac{1}{2R}=\frac{\phi}{IR}$ ∴ it remain unchanged. |
