Explain in brief the basic construction of a moving-coil table galvanometer whit a neat labelled diagram.
Assertion: When an electric current is passed through a moving coil galvanometer, its coil gets deflected.
Reason: A circular coil produces a uniform magnetic field around itself when an electric current is passed through it.
