Direction: Q.46 to Q.50

Moving coil galvanometer operates on Permanent Magnet Moving Coil (PMMC) mechanism and was designed by the scientist D'arsonval.

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.

Read the given passage carefully and give the answer of the following questions.

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
