Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

In a moving coil galvanometer, the coil is suspended in a very strong uniform magnetic field created by two magnetic pole pieces. The earth’s magnetic field is quite weak as compared to that field, therefore, it does not effect the working of magnetic field.
