The magnets of two suspended coil galvanometers are of the same strength so that they produce identical uniform magnetic fields in the region of the coils. The coil of the first one is in the shape of a square of side $a$ and that of the second one is circular of radius $\frac{a}{\sqrt{\pi}}.$ When the same current is passed through the coils,the ratio of the torque experienced by the first coil to that experienced by the second one is

  • A
    $1: \frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi}}$
  • B
    $1: 1$
  • C
    $\pi: 1$
  • D
    $1: \pi$

The circular coil of a galvanometer has $50$ turns. The coil has a radius of $1 \ cm$. The coil is placed in a radial magnetic field of $0.010 \ T$. The torsion coefficient of the spring on which the coil hangs is $3 \times 10^{-7} \ N-m-rad^{-1}$. Determine the deflection of the galvanometer's pointer if the current through the coil is $1.0 \ mA$. (in $^{\circ}$)

An ammeter of resistance $R$ gives a full-scale deflection when a current of $2 \ A$ passes through it. If it is to be converted into an ammeter to measure a maximum current of $10 \ A$,the required shunt is:

$A$ $50\, \Omega$ galvanometer gets full-scale deflection when a current of $0.01\, A$ passes through the coil. When it is converted to a $10\, A$ ammeter,the shunt resistance is ........... $\Omega$.

Two galvanometers $A$ and $B$ require currents of $4 \ mA$ and $7 \ mA$,respectively,to produce the same deflection of $20$ divisions. If $S_{A}$ and $S_{B}$ are their sensitivities,respectively,then:

In a circuit for finding the resistance of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,a $6\,V$ battery and a high resistance of $11\,k\Omega$ are used. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is $60\,\mu A/\text{division}$.
