Solution
The correct option is B STATEMENT -1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is False Soft iron is an iron that has a low carbon content and is easily magnetized and demagnetized with a small hysteresis loss. Placing a soft iron core inside the coil makes the magnetic field radial which increases the torque acting on the coil due to a given current flowing in the coil. The sensitivity increases because, for the same current, the deflection of the coil is more when a core is inserted inside the coil.
