(a) Briefly describe how the current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer can be increased.
(b) A galvanometer shows full scale deflection for current . A resistance is required to convert it into a voltmeter of range and a resistance to convert it into a voltmeter of range . Find the resistance of the galvanometer.
(b) A galvanometer shows full scale deflection for current . A resistance is required to convert it into a voltmeter of range and a resistance to convert it into a voltmeter of range . Find the resistance of the galvanometer.
Solution:
(a) Current sensitivity of galvanometer:
Current sensitivity of galvanometer
So, to increase the current sensitivity:
(i) Permanent magnet should be strong so that is high.
(ii) and should be high.
(iii) Value of must be low.
(b) To convert into a voltmeter of range ,
.....(i)
To convert into a voltmeter of range ,
.....(ii)
Dividing equation (i) by (ii)

So, to increase the current sensitivity:
(i) Permanent magnet should be strong so that is high.
(ii) and should be high.
(iii) Value of must be low.
(b) To convert into a voltmeter of range ,
.....(i)
To convert into a voltmeter of range ,
