Moving coil galvanometer operates on a Permanent Magnet Moving Coil(PMMC) mechanism and was designed by the scientist D'arsnoval.
It is of two types:
(i) Suspended coil
(ii) pivoted coil type / tangent galvanometer.
Its working is based on the fact that when a current carrying coil is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a torque that rotates the coil about its axis of suspension in such a way that the magnetic flux passing through the coil is maximum.
Which of the following is done to make the field radial in a moving coil galvanometer?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
In order to obtain the radial magnetic field in a moving coil galvanometer, the poles of the magnet are cut cylindrical.
