उत्तर

The underlying principle for the working of a moving coil galvanometer is that when a current-carrying conductor is placed inside a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force.

The two reasons why a galvanometer cannot be used for measuring current are

  • The high resistance of galvanometer can disturb the original current flowing through the circuit

  • The high current present in the circuit can destroy the coil windings present in the galvanometer

The factors on which the current sensitivity of a galvanometer depends are

  • Number of turns in the coil

  • Torsional spring constant

  • Area of the coil

  • Strength of the magnetic field

(Any two can be taken as the answer)

Write the underlying principle of a moving coil galvanometer.


A galvanometer of resistance G is converted into a voltmeter to measure upto V volts by connecting a resistance R1 in series with the coil. If a resistance R2 is connected in series with it, then it can measures upto V/2 volts. Find the resistance, in terms of R1 and R2, required to be connected to convert it into a voltmeter that can read upto 2 V. Also find the resistance G of the galvanometer in terms of R1 and R2


Can a galvanometer as such be used for measuring the current? Explain.


Why does a galvanometer when connected in series with a capacitor show a momentary deflection, when it is being charged or discharged?

A voltmeter of variable ranges 3 V, 15 V, 150 V is to be designed by connecting resistances R1, R2, R3 in series with a galvanometer of resistance G = 20 Ω, as shown in Fig. The galvanometer gives full pass through its coil for 1 mA current i.e. "gives full pass through it's coil for 1 mA current". Then, the resistances R1, R2 and R3 (in kilo ohms) should be, respectively:


How is current sensitivity increased?
