Question
Define current sensitivity and voltage sensitivity of a galvanometer.
Increasing the current sensitivity may not necessarily increase the voltage sensitivity of a galvanometer. Justify.
✓

Answer

The current sensitivity of the galvanometer equals the deflection per unit current.Alternate Answer
Voltage sensitivity is the deflection per unit voltage.Alternate Answer
$\frac{\phi}{\text{V}} = \bigg(\frac{\text{NBA}}{\text{k}}\bigg) \frac{\text{I}}{\text{V}} = \bigg(\frac{\text{NAB}}{\text{k}}\bigg)\frac{1}{\text{R}}$ Justification: Increasing the current sensitivity may not necessarily increase the voltage sensitivity. If N→2N, i.e., we double the number of turns, then $\frac{\phi}{\text{I}}\rightarrow2\frac{\phi}{\text{I}}$ Thus, the current sensitivity doubles. However, the resistance of the galvanometer is also likely to double, since it is proportional to the length of the wire. N→2N, and R→2R, thus the voltage sensitivity, remains unchanged. $\frac{\phi}{\text{V}}\rightarrow\frac{\phi}{\text{V}}.$
