MCQ
A moving coil galvanometer is based on the:
  • A
    Heating effect of current
  • B
    Magnetic effect of current
  • C
    Chemical effect of current
  • D
    Peltier effect of current

Answer

  1. Magnetic effect of current

Explanation:

Torque acts on the coil due to magnetic field when current flows in it. 

Hence, it is based on magnetic effect of current.

A thin diamagnetic rod is placed vertically between the poles of an electromagnet. When the current in the electromagnet is switched on, then the diamagnetic rod is pushed up, out of the horizontal magnetic field. Hence, the rod gains gravitational potential energy. The work required to do this comes from:
