    This document discusses the applications of a ballistic galvanometer. It begins by defining a ballistic galvanometer as an instrument used to measure the total charge passing through it during a sudden discharge, such as from a capacitor. It then lists the key features needed for a galvanometer to be considered ballistic: it must have a large moment of inertia and small coupling per unit twist so the coil does not move from its resting position during discharge. Applications of the ballistic galvanometer are then described, including comparing capacitances by charging each to the same potential and measuring the deflection, and measuring the capacitance of an unknown capacitor by comparing the charge and deflection to a known standard capacitor

    Topic:- Applications of Ballistic Galvanometer


    o What is Ballistic Galvanometer?

    A ballistic galvanomrter is used to measure the total charge that passes through in it as a
    Sudden discharge. Such a sudden discharge are met within the discharging of a capacitor
    and in electromagneticvinduction

    o What is the condition of a galvanometer to be ballistic?


    A ballistic galvanometer should have following have following features:-

    (i) The moving coil system should not move from its position of rest during the time the
    discharge passes through it. To achive this its time period should be large.

    (a) Moment of Inertia must be very large


    (b) Couple per unit twist must be small

    (ii) The damping should be small.


    o What is the working principle of a ballistic galvanometer?
    The working principle of a ballistic galvanometer is very simple . It depends on the deflection of the
    coil which is proportional to the charge passes through it.

    o What is the application of ballistic galvanometer ?


    The ballistic galvanometer used for various measurement some of very important are mentioned
    below:-

    (i) Comparision of capacitaces and

    (ii) Measurement of capacitance of a capacitor


    (i) Comparision of Capacitances:- C1 & C2 are the capacitances to be compared . The
    plug K2 is the first put to the left and the capacitor C1 is charged with emf E by passing knob . K of morse key
    Therefore, = C1E
    After releasing the knob, the capacitor C1 is
    discharged through the ballistic galvanometer
    if
    be the first throw , then

    (1+)………………….(1)

    Similarly the experiment is repeated with capacitor


    C2 by pressing Morse key with the plug on the right
    only in key K2
    Therefore = C2E
    After releasing the knob, the capacitor C2 is
    discharged through the ballistic galvanometer
    if
    be the first throw , then
    (1+)………………….(2)
    (1) we get

    =
    (ii) Measurement of Capacitance Capacitor :- The capacitance of a given capacitor may be
    measured, if a capacitor of known capacitance is also available.

    C is the unknown capacitor, R is a high resistance (10000 Ω) and ‘r’ is a standard resistance
    Of 1 ohm, a steady current ‘i’ flows through these resistance.

    Initially key K2 is kept open and knob K of the morse key


    is pressed down. The C capacitor is charged to a
    potential difference iR.
    The charge will be , q=CiR……………………..(1)

    If the knob K is released the charge of the capacitor go to the


    ballistic galvanometer , If be the 1st Throw ,
    (1+)………………….(2)

    Comparing (1) & (2) , we get


    C (1+)………………….(3)
    Let, a steady current ig pass through the galvanometer ,
    by clasing key K2 , which gives steady difflection .
    Therefore,
    Difflection couple = restoring couple
    niBA = C
    or,
    Let G be the resistance of the ballistic galvanometer , =

    [ r<<<G, then r+G=G]

    or, = i

    Equation (4) becomes ,


    =

    From equation (3) , We get


    C= (1+)
