14. CASE STUDY 4
Moving coil galvanometer operates on Permanent Magnet Moving
Coil (PMMC) mechanism and was designed by the scientist
Darsonval.
Moving coil galvanometers are of two types
(i) Suspended coil
(ii) Pivoted coil type or tangent galvanometer,
Its working is based on the fact that when a current carrying coil is
placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a torque. This torque tends
to rotate the coil about its axis of suspension in such a way that the
magnetic flux passing through the coil is maximum.
(i) A moving coil galvanometer is an instrument which
(a) is used to measure emf
(b) is used to measure potential difference
(c) is used to measure resistance
(d) is a deflection instrument which gives a deflection when a current
flows through its coil
(ii) To make the field radial in a moving coil galvanometer.
(a) number of turns of coil is kept small
(b) magnet is taken in the form of horse-shoe
(c) poles are of very strong magnets
(d) poles are cylindrically cut
(iii) The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer is
(a) directly proportional to torsional constant of spring
(b) directly proportional to the number of turns in the coil
(c) inversely proportional to the area of the coil
(d) inversely proportional to the current in the coil
(iv) To increase the current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer,
we should decrease
(a) strength of magnet (b) torsional constant of spring
(c) number of turns in coil (d) area of coil
15. (i) State Biot-Savart law in vector form expressing the magnetic field 5
due to an B element dl carrying current I at a distance r from the
element.
(ii) Find an expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field at the
axial point of a circular loop of radius r carrying a steady current I.
Draw the field lines due to the current loop.
