    exactly 0°
    B.
    approximate 0°
    C.
    exactly 90°

  19. Assertion (A): Damping in a vibration galvanometer is small.

    Reason (R): Vibration galvanometer is a PMMC instrument.

  20. A.
    Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A
    B.
    Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A
    C.
    A is true R is false
    D.
    A is false R is true
