Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

The number of turns of the coil of a moving coil galvanometer is increased in order to increase current sensitivity by 50%50\%. The percentage change in voltage sensitivity of the galvanometer will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Is=NABk∝NI_s = \frac{NAB}{k} \propto N; coil resistance R∝NR \propto N (more turns, more wire).
  2. Vs=IsR=NABkRV_s = \frac{I_s}{R} = \frac{NAB}{kR}, so N cancels.
  3. So the answer is (a) 0%0\%.
