When a current carrying coil is placed in a magnetic field, its experiences a torque which causes a coil to rotate at a certain angle.

 When the current is passed through the coil, it experiences a torque which expressed as;

\tau = NIAB \sin \theta

 where,

N = number of turns

A = area

B = magnetic field

I = current

\tau = NIAB \sin \theta            (\because \sin \theta = 90^{\circ})

then,

\tau = NIAB

then, 

Restoring torque \tau ^{'}= k\phi

at equilibrium,

\tau = \tau ^{'}

\therefore NIAB = k\phi

\phi = \left [ \frac{NAB}{k} \right ]I, 

 \frac{\phi}{I}= \frac{NAB}{k}  is the current sensitivity.

Current sensitivity is defined as the deflection per unit current.
