Question
A rectangular coil of a moving coil galvanometer contains 100 turns, each having area
15 cm2. It is suspended in the radial magnetic field 0.03 T. The twist constant of suspension

Solution
Given: `N = 100, A = 15 cm^2 = 15 xx 10^-4 m^2`,
`B = 0.03 (Wb)/m^2`,
`C = 15 xx 10^-10 "Nm"/"degree"`
To find: Sensitivity (Si)
Formulae: `S_i=(NAB)/c`
`S_i=(100xx15xx10^-4xx0.03)/(15xx10^-10)`
`S_i=3xx10^6 "div"/A`
The sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is `3 xx 10^6 "div"/A`.
