Vedclass · Answer

(D) The torque acting on the coil of a moving coil galvanometer is given by $	au = nABi \sin 	heta$. For small angles,$\sin 	heta \approx 	heta$. The restoring torque is $	au_r = C 	heta$,where $C$ is the torsional constant of the suspension wire.Equating the torques: $C 	heta = nABi$.The current sensitivity $S_i$ is defined as the deflection per unit current: $S_i = \frac{	heta}{i} = \frac{nAB}{C}$.From this expression,it is clear that the sensitivity $S_i$ is inversely proportional to the torsional constant $C$ of the suspension wire.
