A current of 200μ A deflects the coil of a moving coil galvanometer...

A current of 200μA200\mu A deflects the coil of a moving coil galvanometer through 60°60 °. The current to cause deflection through π10\dfrac{\pi}{10} radian is

Options

  1. A30μA30\mu A
  2. B120μA120\mu A
  3. C60μA60\mu A
  4. D180μA180\mu A

Correct answer

C. 60μA60\mu A

Step-by-step solution

In a moving coil galvanometer, the current is related to the angle of deflection by the formula:

i∝θ...(1)i ∝ \theta . . . \left(1\right)

From equation (1), it follow sthat
i2i1=θ2θ1⇒i2200μA=π10π3=310⇒i2=60μA\dfrac{{i}_{2}}{{i}_{1}} = \dfrac{{\theta}_{2}}{{\theta}_{1}} ⇒ \dfrac{{i}_{2}}{200\mu A} = \dfrac{\dfrac{\pi}{10}}{\dfrac{\pi}{3}} = \dfrac{3}{10} ⇒ {i}_{2} = 60\mu A
