Question
Define the term ‘current sensitivity’ of a moving coil galvanometer.
Advertisements
Solution 1
The current sensitivity of a galvanometer is defined as the deflection produced in the galvanometer when a unit current flows through it.
Mathematically, it can be given by:
IS = `(NBA)/k`
Where k is the couple per unit twist.
Solution 2
Current sensitivity is defined as the deflection e per unit current.

A galvanometer has a resistance of 16Ω. It shows full scale deflection, when a current of 20 mA is passed through it. The only shunt resistance available is 0.06 which is not appropriate to convert a galvanometer into an ammeter. How much resistance should be connected in series with the coil of galvanometer, so that the range of ammeter is 8 A?

A moving coil galvanometer has a coil of resistance 59 Ω. It shows a full-scale deflection for a current of 50 mA. How will you convert it to an ammeter having a range of 0 to 3A?
In an ammeter 0.5% of main current passes through galvanometer; If resistance of galvanometer is G, the resistance of ammeter will be.
When a galvanometer is shunted with a 4 Ω resistance, the deflection is reduced to one-fifth. If the galvanometer is further shunted with a 2 Ω wire. The further reduction (find the ratio of decrease in current to the previous current) in the deflection will be (the main current remains the same)
