In a Galvanometer, if the number of turns in the coil are doubled, then the electrical current sensitivity will be:
Show Hint
Remember that the sensitivity of a Galvanometer is directly proportional to the number of turns in the coil. Doubling the number of turns doubles the sensitivity.
Sensitivity is independent of number of turns in coil
Doubled
Four times the initial value

The Correct Option isC
Solution and Explanation
The sensitivity \( S \) of a Galvanometer is directly proportional to the number of turns \( N \) in the coil. The formula for sensitivity can be written as:
\[
S \propto N
\]
If the number of turns in the coil is doubled, the sensitivity will also double. Thus, the new sensitivity will be double the initial value.
Therefore, the sensitivity will be doubled.
