Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

The current sensitivity of moving coil galvanometer is increased by 25%25\%. This increase is achieved only by changing in the number of turns of coils and area of cross section of the wire while keeping the resistance of galvanometer coil constant. The percentage change in the voltage sensitivity will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Voltage sensitivity Vs=IsRV_s = \frac{I_s}{R}.
  2. R is kept constant and IsI_s rises by 25%.
  3. So VsV_s also rises by 25%.
  4. So the answer is (a) +25%.
