1 A moving coil galvanometer is based on the:
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: A moving coil galvanometer operates based on the magnetic effect of current, where a current-carrying coil experiences a torque in a magnetic field.
2 A moving coil type of galvanometer is based upon the principle that:
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: The principle involves a current-carrying wire experiencing a force in a magnetic field, which causes the coil to deflect.
3 In a moving coil galvanometer, we use a radial magnetic field so that the galvanometer scale is:
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: A radial magnetic field ensures that the deflection is directly proportional to the current, resulting in a linear scale.
4 The coil of a sensitive moving coil galvanometer swings too far on both sides. This movement can quickly be stopped by:
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Shorting the coil creates eddy currents that dampen the motion, stopping the oscillations quickly.
5 The current that must flow through the coil of a galvanometer so as to produce a deflection of one division on its scale is called:
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Current sensitivity is defined as the current required per unit deflection.
6 The sensitivity of moving coil galvanometer depends on:
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: The sensitivity is inversely proportional to the torsion constant of the spring.
7 The coil of a suspended coil galvanometer has very high resistance. When a momentary current is passed through the coil, it:
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: High resistance leads to damping, causing oscillations with decreasing amplitude.
