Two galvanometers $G_{1}$ and $G_{2}$ require $2 \ mA$ and $3 \ mA$ respectively to produce the same deflection. Then:

  • A
    $G_{1}$ and $G_{2}$ are equally sensitive.
  • B
    $G_{1}$ is more sensitive than $G_{2}$.
  • C
    $G_{1}$ is less sensitive than $G_{2}$.
  • D
    Sensitivity of $G_{2}$ is $\frac{3}{2}$ times that of $G_{1}$.

$A$ galvanometer,having a resistance of $50 \Omega$,gives a full scale deflection for a current of $0.05 \text{ A}$. The length in metre of a resistance wire of area of cross-section $2.97 \times 10^{-2} \text{ cm}^2$ that can be used to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter which can read a maximum of $5 \text{ A}$ current is: (Specific resistance of the wire $= 5 \times 10^{-7} \Omega\text{-m}$)

$A$ galvanometer of $100\,\Omega$ resistance gives full-scale deflection when $10\,mA$ of current is passed. To convert it into a $10\,A$ range ammeter,the resistance of the shunt required will be ............... $\Omega$.

In a suspended-type moving coil galvanometer,a quartz suspension is used because:

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $10 \Omega$ changes its range from $1 \text{ mA}$ to $101 \text{ mA}$ when a resistive wire is connected in parallel. If the resistivity of the material of the wire and its area of cross-section are $1 \times 10^{-6} \Omega \text{ m}$ and $1 \text{ mm}^2$ respectively,then the length of the wire is (in $cm$)
