1. A current of 5A flows through each of two parallel long wires .the wires are 2.5cm
apart .calculate the force acting per unit length of the each wire .what will be the nature
of the force ,if both currents flows in the same direction?
2. A rectangular loops of sides 25cm and 10cm carrying the current of 15A is placed with
its longer side parallel to a long straight conductor 2cm apart carrying a current of
25A.what is the net force on the loop?
3. A maximum torque acting on a coil of effective area 0.04m2 is 4*10-8Nm when the
current in it is 100μA .find the magnetic induction in which it kept ?
4. Calculate the torque on a 100turn rectangular coil of length 40cm and breadth
20cm ,carrying a current of 10A,when placed making an angle of 60˚ with the magnetic
field of 3T?
5. Given a uniform magnetic field of 100G in an east to west direction and a 44cm long
wire with a current carrying capacity of almost 10A.what is the shape and orientation of
the loop made of this wire which yields maximum turning effect on the loop ? what is the
magnitude of the maximum torque?
6. A 100 turns coil kept in a magnetic field B=0.05Wbm -2,carries a current of 1A as shown

7. A rectangular coil of area 5*10-4m2 and 60 turns is pivoted about one of its vertical
sides .the coil is in radial horizontal fields of 90G .what is the torsional constant of the
hair springs connected to the coil if the current of 0.20mA produces an angular deflection

9. A current of 200μA deflects the coil of a moving coil galvanometer through 30˚.what
should be the current to cause the rotation through π/10 radian ? what is the sensitivity of
the galvanometer?
10. A Galvanometer needs 50mV for a full scale deflection of 50 divisions .find its voltage
sensitivity .what must be its resistance if current sensitivity is 1 division /μA?
11. To increase the current sensitivity of the moving coil galvanometer by 50%,its resistance
is increased so that the new resistance becomes twice its initial resistance .by what factor
does its voltage sensitivity change ?
12. The coil of galvanometer is 0.02m*0.08m.It consists of 200 turns of the fine wire and in a

(b)what is the smallest current that can be detected ,if the minimum observable deflection
is 0.1 degree?
13. A galvanometer with a coil of resistance 12Ω shows full scale deflection for a current of
25mA.how will you convert the meter into :
(1) An ammeter of range 0 to 7.5A
(2) A voltmeter of range 0 to 10V
Determine the net resistance of the meter in each case .when an ammeter is put in
a circuit ,does it read less or more than the actual current in the original circuit ?when the
voltmeter put across a part of the circuit ,does it read less or more than the original
voltage drop? Explain?
14. A galvanometer with a scale divided into 100 equal divisions has a current sensitivity of
10 divisions per mA and a voltage sensitivity of 2 division per mV .what adoptions are
required to read (i)5A for full scale and (ii)1 divisions per volts ?
15. An ammeter of resistance 0.80Ω can measure currents upto 1A.(i)What must be the shunt
resistance to enable the ammeter to measure current upto 5A?(ii)What is the combined
resistance of the ammeter and the shunt?
16. In the circuit ,the current is to be measured .what is the value of the current if the
ammeter shown (a) is a galvanometer with resistance R g=60Ω (b)is a galvanometer
described in (a)but converted to an ammeter by a shunt resistance R s=0.02Ω and (c) is an
ideal ammeter with zero resistance?
17. In a galvanometer there has a deflection of 10 division per mA. The internal resistance of
the galvanometer is 60Ω.If a shunt of 2.5Ω is connected to the galvanometer and there are
50 divisions in all on the scale of the galvanometer ,what maximum current can this
galvanometer read?
18. A galvanometer having a resistance of 50Ω gives a full deflections for a current of
0.05A.calculate the length of the shunt wire of 2mm diameter required to convert the
galvanometer to an ammeter reading current upto 5A .specific resistance for the material
of the wire is 5*10-7Ωm.
