An ammeter gives full-scale deflection when a current of $2 \, A$ flows through it. The resistance of the ammeter is $12 \, \Omega$. If the same ammeter is to be used for measuring a maximum current of $5 \, A$,then the ammeter must be connected with a resistance of:

  • A
    $8 \, \Omega$ in series
  • B
    $18 \, \Omega$ in series
  • C
    $8 \, \Omega$ in parallel
  • D
    $18 \, \Omega$ in parallel

What is voltage sensitivity? Write the equation for voltage sensitivity.

The coil in a moving coil galvanometer experiences a torque proportional to the current passed through it. If a steady current $i$ is passed through it,the deflection of the coil is found to be $90^o$. Now,the steady current is switched off and a charge $Q$ is suddenly passed through the coil. If the coil has $N$ turns of area $A$ each and its moment of inertia is $I$ about the axis it is going to rotate,then the maximum angle through which it deflects upon passing $Q$ is:
