Find the true statement.(a) Ammeter is an instrument used to measure potential difference across any element in a circuit(b) Voltmeter is an instrument used to measure current in a circuit(c) Galvanometer constant is dimensionless(d) Current sensitivity is expressed as the exact reverse of the galvanometer constantThis question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.I want to ask this question from Moving Coil Galvanometer in section Moving Charges and Magnetism of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (d) Current sensitivity is expressed as the EXACT reverse of the galvanometer CONSTANT

Easiest explanation: Current sensitivity is defined as the deflection PRODUCED in the galvanometer, when unit current flows through it.

IS = \(\frac {NAB}{k}\)………………1

The unit of current sensitivity is rad A^-1 or DIV A^-1.

From 1, we can UNDERSTAND that current sensitivity is expressed as the exact reverse of galvanometer constant (G = \(\frac {k}{NAB}\)).
