The coil in a moving coil galvanometer experiences a torque proportional to the current passed through it. If a steady current $i$ is passed through it,the deflection of the coil is found to be $90^o$. Now,the steady current is switched off and a charge $Q$ is suddenly passed through the coil. If the coil has $N$ turns of area $A$ each and its moment of inertia is $I$ about the axis it is going to rotate,then the maximum angle through which it deflects upon passing $Q$ is:

  • A
    $Q\sqrt {\frac{{\pi NAB}}{{2iI}}} $
  • B
    $\frac{{\pi Q}}{2}\sqrt {\frac{{NAB}}{{iI}}} $
  • C
    $\pi Q\sqrt {\frac{{NAB}}{{2iI}}} $
  • D
    $Q\sqrt {\frac{{\pi NAB}}{{iI}}} $
