Moving Charges And Magnetism

Question

Why should the spring/suspension wire in a moving coil galvanometer have low torsional constant?

Solution

Low torsional constant for moving coil galvanometer facilitates greater deflection $ϕ$ in coil for given value of current and hence increases the sensitivity of galvanometer.

Two moving coil meters, M₁ and M₂ have the following particulars:
R₁ = 10 Ω N₁ = 30,
A₁ = 3.6 x 10^–3 m², B₁ = 0.25 T
R₂ = 14 Ω; N₂ = 42,
A₂ = 1.8 x 10^–3 m², B₂ = 0.50 T
(The spring constants k are identical for the two meters).
Determine the ratio of (a) current sensitivity and (b) voltage sensitivity of M₂ and M_1.
