Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

A galvanometer is used in laboratory for detecting the null point in electrical experiments. If, on passing a current of 6 mA it produces a deflection of 2o, its figure of merit is close to :

  1. A 6 $\times$ 10<sup>–3</sup> A/div
  2. B 666<sup>o</sup> A/div
  3. C 3 $\times$ 10<sup>–3</sup> A/div Correct answer
  4. D 333<sup>o</sup> A/div

Solution

figure of merit = ${I \over \theta }$ <br><br>= ${{6 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \over 2}$ <br><br>= 3 $\times$ 10<sup>–3</sup> A/div
