JEE Main 2022Magnetic Effects of Current Question with Solution

JEE Main 2022 (28 Jul Shift 1)

Question

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 :

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Correct answer
D(B) and (D) only

Step-by-step explanation

The current in the galvanometer is calculated by i=KNABθ.

Therefore, the sensitivity of the galvanometer,

dθdi=NABK

Hence, only options B and D are correct.
