Question

A moving coil galvanometer has a coil of area A and number of turns N. A magnetic field B is applied on it. Moment of inertia of the coil is I about the axis of rotation.
(a) Find the torsion constant, C of the spring, if a current i0 produces a deflection of π2 in the coil.
(b) If a charge Q is passed instantaneously through the coil, find the maximum angular deflection, θ0 in it.
(Maximum torsional energy=12Cθ20)

Solution

The correct option is C θ0=QπNAB2i0I
(a) Torque acting on the coil when angle of defection is π2,

τ=Ni0ABsin90=Ni0AB .....(1)

The torsion constant of a coil is,

C=τθ

C=Ni0ABπ/2=2Ni0ABπ .....(2)

So, option (B) is the correct option.

(b). If θ0 is the maximum deflection, then by conservation of energy

12Cθ20=12Iω2

θ0=IC×ω .........(3)

If L is the angular momentum of the coil, then τ=dLdt, and equation (1) can be written as

dLdt=NdQdtAB

dL=NABdQ

On integrating, we get

L0dL=NABQ0dQ

L=NABQ

Iω=NABQ [L=Iω]

ω=NABQI .......(4)

Using equations (2),(3) and (4), we get

θ0=  I2Ni0ABπ×NABQI

θ0=QπNAB2i0I

So, option (C) is also correct.
