NEET Solved Paper 2018 Question 29

Question: Current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is 5 div/mA and its voltage sensitivity (angular deflection per unit voltage applied) is 20 div/V. The resistance of the galvanometer is [NEET - 2018]

Options:

A) $ 250\Omega $

B) $ 25\Omega $

C) $ 40\Omega $

D) $ 500\Omega $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Current sensitivity $ {I_S}\text{=}\frac{NBA}{C} $

Voltage sensitivity $ {V_S}\text{=}\frac{NBA}{C{R_G}} $

So, resistance of galvanometer

$ {R_G}=\frac{I _{S}}{V _{S}}=\frac{5\times 1}{20\times {10^{-3}}}=\frac{5000}{20}=250\Omega $
