A galvanometer experiences a deflection of 40 degrees with a current of 5 mA. If the system is designed such that each 10 mA increases deflection by 10 degrees, then what would be the deflection at 35 mA?
💡 Hint: Count how many increments fit into the 35 mA above the base level.
Determine what happens when a galvanometer with a 100 Ohm resistance is exposed to a voltage of 6 volts without additional measurement equipment.
💡 Hint: Use your formula knowledge about voltage, resistance, and current!
