Two tangent galvanometers A and B have coils of radii 8 cm and 16 cm respectively and resistance 8Ω each. They are connected in parallel with a cell of emf 4 V and negligible internal resistance. The deflections produced in the tangent galvanometers A and B are 30 ° and60 ° respectively. If A has 2 turns, then B must haveTwo tangent galvanometers A and B have coils of radii 8 cm and 16 cm respectively and resistance 8Ω each. They

Options

  1. A18 turns
  2. B12 turns
  3. C6 turns
  4. D2 turns

Correct answer

B. 12 turns

Step-by-step solution

Current in tangent galvanometer

I = \dfrac{2r{B}_{H}}{{μ}_{0}N}tan θ.. \left(i\right)

Two tangent galvanometers A and B have coils of radii 8 cm and 16 cm respectively and resistance 8Ω each. They

From Eq. (i), we get

\dfrac{rtan θ}{N} = \dfrac{{μ}_{0}I}{2{B}_{H}} = \text{same for both}

∴ \dfrac{{r}_{A}tan {θ}_{A}}{{N}_{A}} = \dfrac{{r}_{B}tan {θ}_{B}}{{N}_{B}}

→ 8×1(2)3=163NB\dfrac{8 × 1}{\left(2\right)\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{16\sqrt{3}}{{N}_{B}}

∴ {N}_{B} = 12turns
