a) It may oscillate.

b) It may remain stable.

c) Amplitude of the first swing is large.

Solution:

Ballistic galvanometer is used to measure the charge passing

through it Owing to transitory current, it oscillates. The

amplitude of first deflection is proportional to charge passing.

So first defection should be large. The damping of system must

be small, so as to have first large deflection.
