In the circuit diagrams ($A, B, C$ and $D$) shown below,$R$ is a high resistance and $S$ is a resistance of the order of galvanometer resistance $G$. The correct circuit,corresponding to the half deflection method for finding the resistance and figure of merit of the galvanometer,is the circuit labelled as

  • A
    Circuit $A$ with $G = \frac{RS}{R - S}$
  • B
    Circuit $B$ with $G = S$
  • C
    Circuit $C$ with $G = S$
  • D
    Circuit $D$ with $G = \frac{RS}{R - S}$

State the principle of a moving coil galvanometer.

In an experiment to determine the figure of merit of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,a student constructed the following circuit. He unplugged a resistance of $5200 \ \Omega$ in $R$. When $K_1$ is closed and $K_2$ is open,the deflection observed in the galvanometer is $26 \ \text{div}$. When $K_2$ is also closed and a resistance of $90 \ \Omega$ is removed in $S$,the deflection becomes $13 \ \text{div}$. The resistance of the galvanometer is nearly: (in $\Omega$)
