1 of 1

Understanding +4 | -1

The current sensitivity of a galvanometer can be increased by :
(A) Decreasing the number of turns
(B) Increasing the magnetic field
(C) Decreasing the area of the coil
(D) Decreasing the torsional constant of the spring
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

(B) and (D) only

Option D ((B) and (D) only) is correct because increasing the magnetic field and decreasing the torsional constant of the spring both increase the current sensitivity of a galvanometer.

Which of the following statements is not true A current loop in a magnetic field Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): When currents vary with time, Newton’s third law is valid only if momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is taken into account.
Statement (II): Ampere's circuital law does not depend on Biot-Savart’s law.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below: The magnetic field due to current carrying a circular loop of radius
