Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 221

Question: Two galvanometers A and B require 3mA and 5mA respectively to produce the same deflection of 10 divisions. Then [Kerala PET 2001]

Options:

A) A is more sensitive than B

B) B is more sensitive than A

C) A and B are equally sensitive

D) Sensitiveness of B is 5/3 times that of A

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Sensitivity (S) = $ \frac{\theta }{i} $

Þ $ \frac{S_{A}}{S_{B}}=\frac{i_{B}}{i_{A}}=\frac{5}{3}\Rightarrow S_{A}>S_{B} $
