Q.

For a moving coil galvanometer, the deflection in the coil is 0.05 rad when a current of 10 mA is passed through it. If the torsional constant of suspension wire is 4.0×10-5 Nm rad-1, the magnetic field is 0.01 T and the number of turns in the coil is 200, the area of each turn (in cm2) is          [2023]

1 2.0  
2 1.0  
3 1.5  
4 0.5
