A sensitive galvanometer produces large deflection for a_______________?

Correct answer: A. small value of current

  • A. small value of current
  • B. large value of current
  • C. large value of power
  • D. large value of voltage
  • E. none of the above

Explanation

Sensitivity is the deflection produced per unit input, so a sensitive galvanometer gives a large deflection even when the current is small. This is why galvanometers are used for detecting very small currents.
