Question

Write a short note on the galvanometer.

✓

Answer

A galvanometer is a sensitive device that works on the principle that a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a force.
The pointer on the galvanometer dial is connected to a coil.
The coil is placed between the pole pieces of a magnet such that, when small current flows through the coil, the rotation of the coil will be proportional to the current.
In galvanometer, the pointer deflects on both sides of the zero mark depending on the direction of the current.
A galvanometer is used for detecting and measuring electric current.

The transport system in plants consists of two kinds of tissues X and Y. The tissue X is made up of living cells and consists of two components A and B. The component A has tiny pores in its end walls and contains only cytoplasm but no nucleus. On the other hand, component B has cytoplasm as well as nucleus. The tissue Y is made up of dead cells and consists of two components C and D. The component C has open ends whereas component D does not have open ends. In flowering plants, either only C or both C and D transport water but D is the only water conducting tissue in non - flowering plants.

When a person eats sugary food, then organisms A present in his mouth act on sugar to produce a substance B. The substance B first dissolves the calcium salts from the top part C of the tooth and then from its middle part D forming holes E. These holes ultimately reach the part F in the lower part of tooth which contains nerves and blood vessels. The substance B irritates the nerve endings inside the tooth causing toothache.
