How is current sensitivity increased?
Briefly describe how the current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer can be increased.

उत्तर
A moving coil galvanometer's sensitivity can be enhanced by increasing the number of turns in the coil, the area of the coil, and the magnetic field, while decreasing the couple per unit twist of the suspension.
