Question

Calculate the torsional constant of the galvanometer if, it has 500 turns and each turn has an area 1.0 cm2. The magnetic field produced by the magnet is 0.02 T. The deflection in the coil is 0.04 radian when a current of 20 mA is passed through it.

Solution

Given:

Number of turns, N=500

Area of each turn, A=1.0 cm2=1×104 m2

Magnetic field, B=0.02 T

Current passing through the coil, I=20 mA=20×103 A

Deflection in the coil, ϕ=0.04 rad

We know that, the torsional constant of a wire used in a moving coil galvanometer is,

C=NIBAϕ

Substituting the values,

C=(500)×(20×103)×(0.02)×(2×104)0.04

=1×103 Nm/rad

Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
