Moving coil galvanometers $\mathrm{M}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{M}_{2}$ have resistance, number of turns, area of coil and magnetic field as follows. $\mathrm{R}_{1}=10 \Omega, \mathrm{R}_{2}=14 \Omega, \mathrm{N}_{1}=30, \mathrm{~N}_{2}=42$ $\mathrm{A}_{1}=3 \cdot 6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^{2}, \mathrm{~A}_{2}=1 \cdot 8 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}^{2}, \mathrm{~B}_{1}=0 \cdot 25 \mathrm{~T}, \mathrm{~B}_{2}=0 \cdot 50 \mathrm{~T}$ (Spring constants are same for both materials) The ratio of (i) current sensitivity and (ii) voltage sensitivity for galvanometer $\left(\mathrm{M}_{2}\right.$ to $\left.\mathrm{M}_{1}\right)$ is respectively
  1. $1: 1, \quad 1 \cdot 4: 1$
  2. $1: 1 \cdot 4$, $1: 1$
  3. $4: 1$, $1: 1$
  4. $1 \cdot 4: 1$, $1: 1$

Solution

(a) Current sensitivity of \(M_1\) is given as, \(\begin{aligned} & I_{51}=N_1 B_1 A_1 / k_1 \\ & I_{52}=N_2 B_2 A_2 / k_2 \end{aligned}\) where, \(\mathrm{N}=\) turns, \(\mathrm{B}=\) Magnetic field, \(\mathrm{k}=\) spring constant, \(\mathrm{A}=\) area \(\mathrm{R}=\) Electric resistance. \(\mathrm{I}_{51} / \mathrm{I}_{52}=1.4\) (b) Voltage sensitivity relation is given as, \(\begin{aligned} & V_{s 1}=N_1 B_1 A_1 / k_1 R_1 \\ & V_{s 2}=N_2 B_2 A_2 / k_2 R_2 \end{aligned}\) where, \(\mathrm{N}=\) turns, \(\mathrm{B}=\) Magnetic field, \(\mathrm{k}=\) spring constant, \(\mathrm{A}=\) area \(\mathrm{R}=\) Electric resistance. \(V_{s 1} N_{52}=1\)
