The coil of a galvanometer consists of $100$ turns and an effective area of $1 \, cm^2$. The restoring couple per unit radian is $10^{-8} \, N \cdot m/rad$. The magnetic field between the pole pieces is $5 \, T$. The current sensitivity of this galvanometer will be:

In a moving coil galvanometer,two moving coils $M_1$ and $M_2$ have the following particulars:
$R_1 = 5 \ \Omega, N_1 = 15, A_1 = 3.6 \times 10^{-3} \ m^2, B_1 = 0.25 \ T$
