JEE Main 2025 · 2 Apr · Shift 2 · Galvanometer and Conversion

In a moving coil galvanometer, two moving coils M1\mathrm{M}_1 and M2\mathrm{M}_2 have the following particulars :

R1=5Ω, N1=15, A1=3.6×10−3 m2, B1=0.25 TR2=7Ω, N2=21, A2=1.8×10−3 m2, B2=0.50 T\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}_1=5 \Omega, \mathrm{~N}_1=15, \mathrm{~A}_1=3.6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^2, \mathrm{~B}_1=0.25 \mathrm{~T} \\ & \mathrm{R}_2=7 \Omega, \mathrm{~N}_2=21, \mathrm{~A}_2=1.8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^2, \mathrm{~B}_2=0.50 \mathrm{~T} \end{aligned}

Assuming that torsional constant of the springs are same for both coils, what will be the ratio of voltage sensitivity of M1M_1 and M2M_2 ?
