1. to intensify the magnetic field by reducing the length of airgap across which the magnetic flux has to pass;
2. to give a radial magnetic flux of uniform density, thereby enabling the scale to be uniformly divided.

What will happen in the absence of iron cylinder in a moving coil galvanometer?
it will not work
Write the construction of a moving coil galvanometer?
A moving coil Galvanometer consists of a coil PQRS which is wound over a non metalic frame having soft iron core in the middle. This Coil Is suspended in b/w a powerful magnet poles N-S with the help of Phosphor Bronze wire. Concave mirror is fixed on d suspending thread upside the coil through which deflection can b noted by Lamp and Scale arrangement. The lower end of the coil is connected by hair spring.
What is the construction and working details of moving iron and moving coil ammeters and moving coil voltmeters?

Why are moving iron instruments unpolarized?
Moving-coil instruments are polarised, not unpolarised. This is because they are direct current instruments, and the direction of the current determines the direction in which the instrument's point will move. If a moving coil instrument is connected incorrectly, then the instrument will try and read 'downscale' -in other words, the resulting torque will try and move the pointer backwards.AnswerA moving-iron meter operates by the repulsion between a fixed iron pole piece, and a moving iron pole piece to which the pointer is attached. The magnetic polarity of the fixed and moving pole pieces is determined by the direction of current flowing though a coil. The magnetic polarities induced into the fixed and moving iron pole pieces, when the current flows in one direction, are both north; and, when the current flows in the oppositedirection are both south. So the pole pieces always repel each other, regardless of current direction.
Inserting a soft iron core into a coil has what effect on the inductance of a coil?
increase inductance
What will happen in the absence of iron cylinder in a moving coil galvanometer?

What is the role of the soft iron core?
In a moving coil galvanometer, soft iron core intensifies the magnetic field through it. this causes maximum number of magnetic field lines to pass through the coil.
What is a moving iron galvanometer?
A moving iron galvanometer is used to intensify the magnetic field by reducing the length of air gap across which the magnetic flux has to pass.
State principle of moving coil galvanometer?
Principle of Working:A Moving Coil Galvanometer works on the Electromagnetic effect of current carrying coil (free to move) being placed in an air-gap between the soft iron core and the strong pole pieces of the magnet.The current following in the moving coil which is the specimen to be sensed or measured results in a generation of a Magnetic Field which is opposite to that of the fixed magnetic pole pieces. And as like poles attract each other results in a generation of small deflecting torque which further deflects the pointer or the mirror attached to the axis of the coil.Construction:Moving Coil:The Moving coil which is free to move is being suspended from a soft metallic (non-magnetic) strip carrying the current specimen which is to be sensed or measured. The Moving coil is being suspended in the air-gap available between the fixed Soft Iron-Core and the fixed pole pieces of the magnet.The Soft Iron Core is used to provide a path of low reluctance so as to focus the magnetic field generated by the fixed magnetic pole pieces towards the moving coil. The use of low reluctance Soft Iron-Core helps to increase the sensitivity of the Galvanometer as well.In many of the Moving Coil Galvanometer Construction Soft Iron-Core pieces are removed and this results in the reduction of the sensitivity of the Galvanometer as a whole. In absence of the soft fixed iron core in the middle of the coil the coil then is narrowed in order to reduce the free air space, this narrowing of the coil results in the reduction of the Moment of Inertia(MI) of the moving coil arrangement. This results in having a good near to critical damping with very less oscillations.The Moving coil consists of a large number of turns wounded on a former which can either be in rectangular or circular in shape. The current carrying coil is made up of a thin non magnetic metal so as to have low resistance and less mass.Damping:Damping in Moving Coil Galvanometer is provided by an Eddy current damping mechanism. The damping is made as such to have a nearly critical damping by setting the device to be between under-damped and critical damped case.Controlling Torque:Spring Control mechanism is largely utilized to provide the suitable controlling torque.

What is the work of galvanometer?
Moving coil galvanometer? If so, it is effectively an electric motor acting against a spring. the force from the motor is proportional to the current and the force from the spring is proportional to displacement. When they are equal, the needle (attached to the motor), stops. Moving iron meters rely on opposite magnetic poles repelling.

Why is the core of a moving coil galvanometer made of soft iron?
The term galvanometer is used to refer to a meter which can measure small currents, usually in the mA (10-3A) or mA (10-6A) range. When a soft iron core is used, the magnetic field lines tend to crowd through the core. It is because soft iron core is ferromagnetic in nature. As a result, the strength of the magnetic field due to the field magnet increases, which in turn increases the sensitivity of the galvanometer.
