# Question
1
  1. What is meant by the term Ballistic galvanometer?
  2. State two conditions to be fulfilled for a galvanometer to be used as a ballistic galvanometer.
  3. Consider a small flat coil which has N turns of area A and whose plane is perpendicular to a magnetic field of flux density B. If the search coil is connected to the ballistic galvanometer and the total resitance of the circuit is R, use the laws of electromagnetic induction to show that the charge  delivered to the galvanometer does not depend on how long it takes to remove the search coil from the field.
