Which of the following statements is not true?

  • A
    While taking readings of a tangent galvanometer,the plane of the coil must be set at right angles to the earth's magnetic meridian.
  • B
    $A$ short magnet is used in a tangent galvanometer since a long magnet would be heavy and may not easily move.
  • C
    Measurements with the tangent galvanometer will be more accurate when the deflection is around $45^\circ$.
  • D
    $A$ tangent galvanometer cannot be used in the polar region.
