The coil of a moving coil galvanometer has an effective area of $4 \times 10^{-2} \, m^2$. It is suspended in a magnetic field of $5 \times 10^{-2} \, Wb \, m^{-2}$. If the deflection in the galvanometer coil is $0.2 \, rad$, when a current of $5 \, mA$ is passed through it, then

  • A
    torsional constant is $8 \times 10^{-5} \, N \, m \, rad^{-1}$
  • B
    current sensitivity is $40 \, rad \, A^{-1}$
  • C
    torsional constant is $3 \times 10^{-3} \, N \, m \, rad^{-1}$
  • D
    current sensitivity is $40 \, \text{deg} \, A^{-1}$
