In an experiment to determine the figure of merit of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,a student constructed the following circuit. He unplugged a resistance of $5200 \ \Omega$ in $R$. When $K_1$ is closed and $K_2$ is open,the deflection observed in the galvanometer is $26 \ \text{div}$. When $K_2$ is also closed and a resistance of $90 \ \Omega$ is removed in $S$,the deflection becomes $13 \ \text{div}$. The resistance of the galvanometer is nearly: (in $Omega$)

  • A
    $45.0$
  • B
    $103.0$
  • C
    $91.6$
  • D
    $116.0$

The current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is increased by $25 \%$. This increase is achieved only by changing the number of turns of the coils and the area of the cross-section of the wire while keeping the resistance of the galvanometer coil constant. The percentage change in the voltage sensitivity will be $...........\%$

To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter,one needs to connect a

What is voltage sensitivity? Write the equation for voltage sensitivity.

The scale of a galvanometer is divided into $160$ equal divisions. The galvanometer shows full scale deflection of $16$ mA and maximum voltage is $80$ mV. Now the range is changed so that the galvanometer reads $160$ $V$. The required resistance to be connected is
