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:

  • A
    $5 \times 10^4 \, rad/\mu A$
  • B
    $5 \times 10^{-6} \, rad/A$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{-7} \, rad/A$
  • D
