A current of deflects the coil of a moving coil galvanometer through . The current to cause deflection through radian is :
- A120 A
- B180 A
- C30 A
- D60 A
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Use the property of a moving coil galvanometer
For a moving coil galvanometer, the deflection is directly proportional to the current : Hence,
-
Given data
- Current
- Deflection
Required deflection:
-
Convert units so both angles are in the same unit
Since therefore,
-
Apply proportionality
So,
-
Match with options
corresponds to Option D.
