Damping of the Ballistic galvanometer is made small to_______________?

Correct answer: A. get first deflection large

  • A. get first deflection large
  • B. make the system oscillatory
  • C. make the system critically damped
  • D. get minimum overshoot

Explanation

A ballistic galvanometer measures the first throw produced by a charge, so small damping allows a larger initial deflection and preserves the charge-deflection relationship. Heavy damping would reduce the first throw and spoil sensitivity.
