In a moving coil galvanometer, two moving coils
and
have the following particulars:


Assuming that torsional constant of the springs are same for both coils, what will be the ratio of voltage sensitivity of
and
?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
In a moving coil galvanometer, the voltage sensitivity is given by the formula:
Voltage sensitivity
Here,
is the deflection angle,
is the voltage,
is the number of turns,
is the coil area,
is the magnetic field,
is the torsional constant of the spring, and
is the resistance of the coil.
For the two moving coils
and
, we want to determine the ratio of their voltage sensitivities. Given that the torsional constant
is the same for both coils, we can express the ratio as:









We calculate:

Thus, the ratio of the voltage sensitivities of
to
is
.
