Question
A moving coil type of galvanometer is based upon the principle that:

Answer

  1. Coil carrying current experiences a torque in magnetic field.
Explanation:
In a moving coil type of galvanometer needle deflects when torque in magnetic field is non - zero.
So, a moving coil galvanometer is based upon the principle that coil carrying current experiences a torque in a magnetic field.
