The magnets of two suspended coil galvanometers are of the same strength so that they produce identical uniform magnetic fields in the region of the coils. The coil of the first one is in the shape of a square of side $a$ and that of the second one is circular of radius $\frac{a}{\sqrt{\pi}}.$ When the same current is passed through the coils, the ratio of the torque experienced by the first coil to that experienced by the second one is

  • A
    $1: \frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi}}$
  • B
    $1: 1$
  • C
    $\pi: 1$
  • D
    $1: \pi$

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $100\,\Omega$ has $50$ divisions on its scale and a sensitivity of $20\,\mu A/\text{division}$. It is to be converted into a voltmeter with three ranges: $0-2\,V$,$0-10\,V$,and $0-20\,V$. The appropriate circuit to do so is:

To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter,one needs to connect a

$A$ multirange voltmeter can be constructed by using a galvanometer circuit as shown in the figure. We want to construct a voltmeter that can measure $2 \ V$,$20 \ V$,and $200 \ V$ using a galvanometer of resistance $10 \ \Omega$ that produces maximum deflection for a current of $1 \ mA$. Find $R_1$,$R_2$,and $R_3$ that have to be used.
