When the current is doubled, the deflection also doubles in
When the current is doubled, the deflection also doubles in
Options
- Aa moving-coil galvanometer
- Ba hot-wire ammeter
- Ca moving-iron ammeter
- Da tangent galvanometer
Correct answer
A. a moving-coil galvanometer
Step-by-step solution
For a moving-coil galvanometer, the deflecting torque is and the restoring torque is .
At equilibrium, .
Thus, when the current is doubled, the deflection also doubles.
For a hot-wire ammeter and a moving-iron ammeter, the deflection .
For a tangent galvanometer, the current .
At equilibrium, .
Thus, when the current is doubled, the deflection also doubles.
For a hot-wire ammeter and a moving-iron ammeter, the deflection .
For a tangent galvanometer, the current .
