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

Answer

  1. Magnetic effect of current

Explanation:

Torque acts on the coil due to magnetic field when current flows in it. 

Hence, it is based on magnetic effect of current.
