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

Answer

Correct option: B.
Magnetic effect of current

Torque acts on the coil due to magnetic field when current flows in it.
Hence, it is based on magnetic effect of current.
