Current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is 5 div/mA5 \text{ div/mA} and its voltage sensitivity (angular deflection per unit voltage applied) is 20 div/V20 \text{ div/V}. The resistance of the galvanometer is

1

250 Ω\Omega

2

25 Ω\Omega

3

40 Ω\Omega

4

500 Ω\Omega

Step-by-Step Solution

Current sensitivity IS=NBACI_S = \frac{NBA}{C}. Voltage sensitivity VS=NBACRGV_S = \frac{NBA}{CR_G}. So, resistance of galvanometer RG=ISVS=5×120×103=500020=250 ΩR_G = \frac{I_S}{V_S} = \frac{5 \times 1}{20 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{5000}{20} = 250 \text{ }\Omega.
