MCQ
The pointer of a dead-beat galvanometer gives a steady deflection because
- ✓Eddy currents are produced in the conducting frame over which the coil is wound
- BIts magnet is very strong
- CIts pointer is very light
- DIts frame is made of abonite
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Eddy currents are produced in the conducting frame over which the coil is wound
a
A galvanometer gives steady deflection.
A galvanometer gives steady deflection.
The pointer of a dead-beat garranometer shouls steady state deflection as eddy-cumments are generated due to the coil coound. This eddy-cumment is due to the coil which is wound and produced in the conducting fuame.
