Answer Key / Explanation : (b) -

(b)

The moving coil galvanometer have their coil wound on a metallic (copper or aluminium) frame, so as to make the motion dead beat due to the production of eddy currents. In the ballistic galvanometer, on the other hand, the damping is to be reduced to the minimum and hence the frame is of a non-conducting material  paper or bamboo.
