The reason a moving coil galvanometer cannot be used with an alternating current is that

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

The typical coil galvanometer is based on the principle that, when a current carrying coil is placed in a magnetic field, the coil experiences a torque.

Since, the current in an AC averages out to zero, the net magnetic field produced will be zero. Hence, the average torque experienced in a given time interval would be zero. Therefore, there will be no deflection.
