The number of turns of the coil of a moving coil galvanometer is increased in order to increase current sensitivity by . The percentage change in voltage sensitivity of the galvanometer will be :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Recall the definitions
For a moving coil galvanometer:
- Current sensitivity is where = number of turns, = area, = magnetic field, and = torsional constant.
So,
- Voltage sensitivity is But since where is galvanometer resistance,
Also, the resistance of the coil is proportional to the length of wire used, hence proportional to number of turns:
- Current sensitivity increased by
If current sensitivity increases by , then
Since ,
- Effect on galvanometer resistance
Since resistance ,
- Effect on voltage sensitivity
Now,
Therefore,
So voltage sensitivity remains unchanged.
- Percentage change in voltage sensitivity
Hence, the correct option is:
A:
