Question:

A moving coil galvanometer has a coil of effective area A and number of turns N. The magnetic field B is radial. If a current I is passed through the coil, the torque acting on the coil is

Options:

$NA^2BI$

$N^2A^2BI$

$NABI$

$NAB^2I$

Correct Answer:

$NABI$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $NABI$

The torque on a moving coil galvanometer is given by:

$\tau = N \cdot I \cdot A \cdot B$

Where:

  • $N$ = number of turns
  • $I$ = current through the coil
  • $A$ = area of the coil
  • $B$ = magnetic field (radial)

∴ Torque acting on the coil = N I A B
