Question

An ammeter requires a change of 3 A in its coil to produce a change in deflection of the pointer by 12 mm. Its sensitivity is

The correct answer is

4 mm/A

Summarizing the Calculation Quantity Value Unit Change in Current (\Delta I) 3 A Change in Deflection (\Delta \theta) 12 mm Sensitivity (S = (\Delta \theta)/(\Delta I)) (12)/(3) = 4 mm/A Therefore, the sensitivity of the ammeter is 4 mm/A.
