[KCET (Engg./Med.) 2001]
Options:
A) While taking reading of tangent galvanometer, the plane of the coil must be set at right angles to the earth’s magnetic meridian
B) A short magnet is used in a tangent galvanometer since a long magnet would be heavy and may not easily move
C) Measurements with the tangent galvanometer will be more accurate when the deflection is around 45o
D) A tangent galvanometer cannot be used in the polar region
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
