The pointer of a dead-beat galvanometer gives a steady deflection because

a
Eddy currents are produced in the conducting frame over which the coil is wound
b
Its magnet is very strong
c
Its pointer is very light
d
Its frame is made of abonite

detailed solution

Correct option is A

In a dead beat galvanometer, the coil is wound on a metallic frame such that when the current flows through the conductor, as the pointer moves through a changing magnetic field, an eddy current in induced in the metallic frame which opposes the motion of the pointer beyond the mean value, hence dampens the motion very quickly.
