Moving Coil Galvanometer Concave magnet and small gap Constant Radial field B magnetic force coil plane (always) Constant Torque i.e. = BANI sin 90o = BANI

Resisting torque due to the hairspring in which the restoring torque is directly proportional to the angle turned. i.e. = k where k is the torisonal constant (~ force constant) is the angle turned
At Equilibrium,

Current Sensitivity = / I = deflection per unit current / I = NBA / k In order to increase the current sensitivity, no. of turn of coils , but the armature will be too bulky and the size of the air gap cannot be too small. Magnetic field in the air gap , i.e. Stronger magnet is used and the air gap should be as narrow as possible. area of the coil , but the coils will swing about its deflected position.

(4) Weaker hairspring, but if the opposition of the suspension is too weak (reading again take time).
