Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | When a soft iron is inserted into the coil of a moving coil galvanometer, both the current sensitivity and voltage sensitivity of the galvanometer increase. |
| Reason (R): | Current sensitivity and voltage sensitivity are directly proportional to the magnetic induction in the coil. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
