Question

The current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is 5 divisions per milliampere and voltage sensitivity is 20 divisions per volt find the resistance of the Galvanometer

Open in App

Solution

To calculate the same deflections, either multiply the current by 4, or divide the voltage by 4, then use Ohm’s law to compute the resistance by Voltage/Current

R = (1V/4) / 1e-3A

= 250e-3/1e-3

= 250 Ohm
