MCQ
Two galvanometers $A$ and $B$ require $3\,mA$ and $5\,mA$ respectively to produce the same deflection of $10$ divisions. Then
  • $A$ is more sensitive than $B$
  • B
    $B$ is more sensitive than $A$
  • C
    $A$ and $B$ are equally sensitive
  • D
    Sensitiveness of $B$ is $5/3$ times that of $A$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$A$ is more sensitive than $B$
a
(a) Sensitivity $(S)$ =$\frac{\theta }{i}$ $==>$ $\frac{{{S_A}}}{{{S_B}}} = \frac{{{i_B}}}{{{i_A}}} = \frac{5}{3} \Rightarrow {S_A} > {S_B}$

For this to happen, the minimum value of $\mu $ is
A nuclear power plant supplying electrical power to a village uses a radioactive material of half life $T$ years as the fuel. The amount of fuel at the beginning is such that the total power requirement of the village is $12.5 \%$ of the electrical power available form the plant at that time. If the plant is able to meet the total power needs of the village for a maximum period of $n T$ years, then the value of $n$ is
