MCQ
If the current is doubled, the deflection is also doubled in:
  • A
    A tangent galvanometer
  • B
    A moving-coil galvanometer
  • C
    Both
  • D
    None of these

Answer

  1. A moving-coil galvanometer

Explnation:

In MCG, deflection is proportional to torque on the coil and torque is proportional to current.

Hence, when current is doubled, deflection is doubled.
