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)
