∙ 13y agoThis is a galvanometer:
A galvanometer is a type of ammeter - an instrument for detecting and measuring electric current. It is an analog electromechanical transducer that produces a rotary deflection of some type of pointer in response to electric current flowing through its coil. The term has expanded to include uses of the same mechanism in recording, positioning, and servomechanism equipment.

What are the disadvantages of moving coil instrument?
power must be gotten thru moving parts to the coil slip rings, festoons, tinsel
Why are moving iron instruments unpolarized?
Moving-coil instruments are polarised, not unpolarised. This is because they are direct current instruments, and the direction of the current determines the direction in which the instrument's point will move. If a moving coil instrument is connected incorrectly, then the instrument will try and read 'downscale' -in other words, the resulting torque will try and move the pointer backwards.AnswerA moving-iron meter operates by the repulsion between a fixed iron pole piece, and a moving iron pole piece to which the pointer is attached. The magnetic polarity of the fixed and moving pole pieces is determined by the direction of current flowing though a coil. The magnetic polarities induced into the fixed and moving iron pole pieces, when the current flows in one direction, are both north; and, when the current flows in the oppositedirection are both south. So the pole pieces always repel each other, regardless of current direction.
What is moving iron instrument?
these instrument are widely used in laboratories and switch boards at commercial frequencies because these are cheaper in cost , robust in construction and can be manufactured with required accuracy. there are two general types of such instrument i.e (i) the attraction type (ii) the repulsion type . the attraction type instrument operate on the principle of repulsion of two adjacent iron piece magnetised by the same magnetic field. repulsion type instrument are are more sensitive as in these instrument large operating torque is developed by having two iron element positioned close together inside the field coil where the magnetizing effect is maximum. in both type of these instrument the current under measurement is passed through a coil of wire. this current carrying coil sets up the necessary field. depending on the magnitude of the current to be measured the coil may be of a few turns of very heavy conductor or of many turns of fine wire. the instrument to be used as an ammeter is provided with a coil of thick wire in order to have low resistance and carry large current and to be used as a voltmeter is provided with a coil of large number of turns of fine wire in order to have high resistance and draws as small current as possible.

Is Voltmeter is a moving iron Instrument or moving coil instrument?
If this is a homework related question, you really should consider trying to solve it yourself before looking at this answer. Otherwise, the value of the lesson, and the reinforcement provided by the assignment, will be lost to you.A moving coil measuring instrument has a coil attached to the indicator, surrounded by a magnet.A moving iron measuring instrument has a magnet attached to the indicator, surrounded by a coil.In both cases, the indicator is driven by magnetic torque caused by current flow in the coil.
What are the disadvantages of moving coil instrument?
power must be gotten thru moving parts to the coil slip rings, festoons, tinsel
What are the functions of moving coil instrument?
The function of the moving coil is to deflect the instruments needle across a calibrated scale to give the meter operator an accurate reading of what ever he is testing. The moving coil is given a minute current, through internal instrument circuity, a sample of the potential that is being measured.
What happens when a permanent magnet moving coil instrument be connected in an ac current?
The torque on the moving coil will reverse at twice the frequency of the supply, causing the pointer to vibrate. High-quality a.c. measuring instruments that incorporate a moving coil are, of course, common but incorporate a rectification circuit to supply the coil.
Why moving iron is used in both AC and DC current?
A moving iron instrument works by means of a coil that attracts a moving iron mass that is attached to a pivoted pointer which moves across a graduated scale. The iron mass will be attracted towards the coil, regardless of the magnetic polarity of the coil. So, as an AC current continually reverses the magnetic polarity of the coil, the iron mass is always attracted towards the coil, never repelled by it. Similarly, a moving iron instrument doesn't care in which direction a DC current is flowing. So the instrument works equally well with both AC and DC currents. Moving iron instruments, however, are not as accurate as moving coil instruments which, of course, are sensitive to the direction of current.

Why you called the watt-meter as dynamo-meter in the 3 phase power measurement?
The terms you are looking for are 'dynamometer' (no hyphen!) or 'electrodynamic' instrument. These terms describe an instrument movement, where the torque applied to the pointer results from the interaction of magnetic fields produced by fixed and moving coils. In the case of a wattmeter, the fixed coil is the current coil which is connected in series with the load, and the moving coil is the voltage coil which is connected in parallel with the load.A dynamometer type instrument differs from a moving-coil instrument, such as an ammeter or a voltmeter, in which the torque applied to the pointer is the result of the interaction between the magnetic fields produced by the moving coil and a permanent magnet.For three-phase power measurements, it is possible to use just two wattmeters in a configuration called the 'two wattmeter method'.
What is the purpose of the series resistor in your designed ammeter circuit?
You appear to be referring to a 'swamping resistor' which is connected in series with a moving-coil ammeter's moving coil.To minimise any errors due to temperature changes in the resistance of the instrument's moving coil, the coil is connected in series with what is termed a 'swamping resistor' whose resistance is large in comparison with that of the moving coil, and which is manufactured from an alloy with a very lowtemperature coefficient of resistance (i.e. a metal whose resistance is hardly effected by wide variations in temperature).For example, if the resistance of a 1-Ω moving coil increases to, say, 1.1 Ω, when its rated current flows through it, this will introduce a 10% error in the instrument's reading.But by calibrating the instrument with a series swamp resistor of, say, 49 Ω, the overall resistance at rated current will become 50.1 Ω. This will result in an error of just 0.2%.A swamping resistor, then, is an integral part of all moving-coil instruments and, when we refer to an instrument's 'coil resistance', we actually mean the combined resistance of the moving coil itself and its swamping resistor.
