Current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is
and its voltage sensitivity (angular deflection per unit voltage applied) is
. The resistance of the galvanometer is [NEET 2018]
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is the deflection θ per unit current I flowing through it, i.e.
…(i)
where, N = number of turns in the coil,
A = Area of each turn of coil, B = magnetic field
k = restoring torque per unit twist of the fiber strip.
Similarly, voltage sensitivity is the deflection per unit voltage, i.e.
…(ii)
where, R G is the resistance of the galvanometer.
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
…(iii)
Here, 

and
Substituting the given values in Eq. (iii), we get

The resistance of the galvanometer is
.
