Which among the following ratios defines the sensitivity of a galvanometer?a) Deflection in the galvanometer to the unit change in unknown resistanceb) Unit change in unknown resistance to thrice the deflection in the galvanometerc) Half the unit change in unknown resistance to the deflection in the galvanometerd) Deflection in the galvanometer to twice the unit change in unknown resistance

The sensitivity of a galvanometer is defined as the ratio of deflection in the galvanometer to the unit change in unknown resistance. By increasing the number of turns, the sensitivity of a galvanometer can be increased by using a strong magnet or increasing the area of the coil.
