When the current is doubled, the deflection also doubles in

When the current is doubled, the deflection also doubles in

Options

  1. Aa moving-coil galvanometer
  2. Ba hot-wire ammeter
  3. Ca moving-iron ammeter
  4. Da tangent galvanometer

Correct answer

A. a moving-coil galvanometer

Step-by-step solution

For a moving-coil galvanometer, the deflecting torque is τ=NIAB\tau = NIAB and the restoring torque is τr=Cθ\tau_r = C\theta.

At equilibrium, NIAB=Cθ⇒θ∝INIAB = C\theta \Rightarrow \theta \propto I.

Thus, when the current is doubled, the deflection also doubles.

For a hot-wire ammeter and a moving-iron ammeter, the deflection θ∝I2\theta \propto I^2.

For a tangent galvanometer, the current I∝tan⁡θI \propto \tan \theta.
