When you push a magnet towards the center of the coil, then pull it away, the galvanometer needle deflects in one direction, then the other. Both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges provide great performance and are offered in a range of prices, shapes, sizes, and levels of quality. Early ammeters were laboratory instruments which relied on the earths magnetic field. The voltmeter is connected in across all turns of coil 2. Dc ammeter are mainly pmmc instruments, mi can measure both ac and dc currents, also electrodynamometer type thermal instrument can measure dc and ac, induction meters are not generally used for ammeter construction due to their higher cost, inaccuracy in measurement description of different types of ammeters pmmc ammeter. A wide variety of moving coil ac voltmeter options are available to you, such as display type. How far the needle deflects depends on the strength of the magnet and how fast you move it.
An animation of the magnetic field lines in the experiment above when the. Deflection torque is proportional to the square of the current. Though most modern meters have solid state digital readouts, the physics is more readily demonstrated with a moving coil current detector called a galvanometer. Free online tool to merge pdf files pdfcreator online. The coil is suspended between the poles of a magnet on jewelled bearings and is held in place by two finely coiled springs s 1 and s 2 through which the current to be measured passes in and out of the coil. A moving coil galvanometer can be used as a voltmeter by inserting a resistor in series with the instrument. Other articles where movingcoil meter is discussed.
