Question:

A current of 10-7 A produces 50 division deflection in a galvanometer. The figure of merit would be:

Options:

50 × 10-7 A/div

50 × 107 A/div

2 × 10-9 A/div

2 × 10-8 A/div

Correct Answer:

2 × 10-9 A/div

Explanation:

Figure of merit is defined as the current which produces a deflection of one scale division in the galvanometer.

Here one division will give $\frac{10^{-7}}{50} = 2\times 10^{-9}A/div$
