Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) A
Explanation:
1. Current sensitivity of a galvanometer is defined as the deflection produced in the galvanometer when a unit current flows through it.
2. If \(θ\) is the deflection in the galvanometer when current \(I\) is passed through it, then

3. Also, volume (V)=Length\(\left(l\right)\)×Area \((A)\)
4. Where, \(A=π{r}^{2}\) (r is radius)
5. When the wire is stretched its volume (V) remains constant.
6. Hence,
