Unit of reduction factor is

Unit of reduction factor is

Options

(a) ampere
(b) ohm
(c) tesla
(d) weber

Correct Answer:

ampere

Explanation:

Reduction factor K = i/tan θ
.·. i = K tanθ
The unit of current (i) is ampere. So, the unit of reduction factor (K) is equivalent to that of current (i).

  • Reduction factor of say Tangent Galvanometer is actually numerically equal to the current in ampere needed to produce a deflection of 45° when plane of coil lies in magnetic meridian

  • K=Itan(theta). I has unit ampere and (theta) is the ratio b/w opposite side and adjacent side so length by length. therefore tan (theta) has no unit. So unit of K is Ampere.
