Correct answer: A

  1. Recall the definitions for a moving coil galvanometer

    For a moving coil galvanometer, the deflecting torque is τd=NBIA\tau_d = N B I Aτd​=NBIA where:

    • NNN = number of turns,
    • BBB = magnetic field,
    • III = current,
    • AAA = area of coil.

    At equilibrium, NBIA=CθN B I A = C\thetaNBIA=Cθ where CCC is the torsional constant.

    Hence, θI=NBAC\frac{\theta}{I} = \frac{N B A}{C}Iθ​=CNBA​

    This is the current sensitivity: Si=θI=NBACS_i = \frac{\theta}{I} = \frac{N B A}{C}Si​=Iθ​=CNBA​

  2. Check Statement I

    Statement I says: If the number of turns in the coil is doubled then the current sensitivity becomes double.

    Since Si∝NS_i \propto NSi​∝N doubling NNN gives Si′=2SiS_i' = 2S_iSi′​=2Si​

    Therefore, Statement I is true.

  3. Now recall voltage sensitivity

    Voltage sensitivity is Sv=θVS_v = \frac{\theta}{V}Sv​=Vθ​

    Using Ohm’s law, V=IRV = IRV=IR, so Sv=θV=θ/IR=SiRS_v = \frac{\theta}{V} = \frac{\theta/I}{R} = \frac{S_i}{R}Sv​=Vθ​=Rθ/I​=RSi​​

    For a galvanometer coil, R∝NR \propto NR∝N because increasing the number of turns increases the length of wire, hence resistance.

    Also, Si∝NS_i \propto NSi​∝N

    Therefore, Sv=SiR∝NN=constantS_v = \frac{S_i}{R} \propto \frac{N}{N} = \text{constant}Sv​=RSi​​∝NN​=constant

    So by only increasing the number of turns, the voltage sensitivity does not increase in the same ratio.

  4. Check Statement II

    Statement II says: Increasing current sensitivity by only increasing the number of turns in the coil will also increase its voltage sensitivity in the same ratio.

    This is false, because the resistance also increases in the same ratio, making voltage sensitivity unchanged.

  5. Conclusion

    • Statement I: True
    • Statement II: False

    Therefore, the correct option is: A\boxed{\text{A}}A​
