Q 1 :    

In the experiment to determine the galvanometer resistance by half-deflection method, the plot of 1/θ vs the resistance (R) of the resistance box is shown in the figure. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is ________ ×10-1 A/division. [The source has emf 2 V]                      [2024]

Reading of Galvanometer

ig=(SG+S)i=(SG+S)(2R+GSG+S)

ig=2SR(G+S)+GS=Cθ=Cy

Now on y axis 1θ=y, and on x-axis R

y=C2S(R(G+S)+GS)=(G+S)C2SR+CG2

CG2=12CG=1 and slope=14=(G+S)C2S

C(G+S)S=12
