Draw a labelled diagram of a moving coil galvanometer. Describe briefly its principle and working.

Answer»

SOLUTION :PRINCIPLE and working : A current carrying coil, placed in a UNIFORM magnetic field, (can) experience a torque
Consider a rectangular coil for which no. of turns `=` N,
Area of cross-section `= l xx b = A`,
Intensity of the uniform magnetic field `=B`,
Current through the coil `= I`
`:.` Deflecting torque `= B I l xx b = B I A`
For N turns `tau =` NBIA
Restoring torque in the spring `= k theta`
( `k=` restoring torque per unit twist)
`:. N B I A = k theta`
`:. I = ((k)/(NBA))theta`
`:. I prop theta`
The deflection of the coil, is therefore, PROPORTIONAL to the current flowing through it.
