Such a galvanometer in which the coil comes to rest quickly after the current passed through it is called:
Correct answer: B. Sensitive galvanometer
- A. Stable galvanometer
- B. Sensitive galvanometer
- C. Both (a) and (b)
- D. None of these
Explanation
A sensitive galvanometer is designed to detect and respond to small electrical currents with high sensitivity and precision. Sensitivity refers to the ability of the galvanometer to produce a noticeable deflection for even tiny changes in current. While sensitivity is crucial for accurate measurements, it may not necessarily imply that the coil comes to rest quickly after current passes through it.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
