The purpose of the permanent magnet in the moving coil meter is to measure electrical current. The coil will have a magnetic field which will react to the magnetic field of the permanent magnet. Since opposite poles attract, it will cause for the coil to move.Ê

What type of meter movement is used in most meters?

Most meters use a moving coil meter movement, which utilizes a coil of wire attached to a needle that moves in response to the current flowing through the coil. This movement is reliable and accurate for measuring various electrical quantities.


Why are moving iron test instruments not used with DC although they can work in DC?

For moving-iron instrument magnetic field is caused when the current (voltage) passes the fixed circle. When the current (voltage) passes the fixed circle,the two iron plates are magnetized ,rotational torque is resulted, the deflection angle indicate measured current. Because the magnetized polarity is same for AC or DC, moving-iron instrument can be used in AC and DC circuit. For permanent-magnet moving-coil instrument magnetic field is caused by the permanent-magnet, When the DC current passes the moving coil, rotational torque is resulted,so the deflection angle indicate measured DC current. As AC current passes the moving coil ,because inertia of moving parts of meter the deflection angle indicate rotational torque average, but rotational torque average is zero in cycle, moving parts of meter is´t deflec,so permanent-magnet moving-coil instrument only is used in DC circuit.


What is working of PMMC?

In PMMC meter or (D'Arsonval) meter or galvanometer all are the same instrument, a coil of fine wire is suspended in a magnetic field produced by permanent magnet. According to the fundamental law of electromagnetic force, the coil will rotate in the magnetic field when it carries an electric current by electromagnetic (EM) torque effect. A pointer which attached the movable coil will deflect according to the amount of current to be measured which applied to the coil. The (EM) torque is counterbalance by the mechanical torque of control springs attached to the movable coil also. When the torques are balanced the moving coil will stopped and its angular deflection represent the amount of electrical current to be measured against a fixed reference, called a scale. If the permanent magnet field is uniform and the spring linear, then the pointer deflection is also linear


The pointer of an analog meter is connected to?

Fixed magnet


Can a magnet slow down an electric smart meter?

No, a magnet cannot slow down an electric smart meter. Smart meters operate based on electrical measurements and are not affected by magnetic fields.


Why does the reading on a newton metre increase when a current passes through the coil?

When a current passes through the coil of a Newton meter, it generates a magnetic field around the coil. This magnetic field interacts with the permanent magnet inside the Newton meter, causing a torque to be exerted on the coil. This torque results in a deflection of the coil, which is then translated into a reading on the scale of the Newton meter.


What is the purpose of a gas meter?

The purpose of a gas meter is to monitor how much gas a particular house is using. Customers are then billed according to how much gas they have used from the meter.


What do most analog meters use to facilitate the needle movement?

Most analog meters use a coil of wire (solenoid) and a magnet to facilitate the movement of the needle. When current passes through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the permanent magnet, causing the needle to move and indicating the measurement on the meter.

How can you tell a if you have a Meteor?

We might have a meter but we don't know how can we tell accept the magnet test


Can a magnet slow down an electric meter?

Yes, definately yes. The Magnet will pull the spinning disk on the electricity meter resulting for that disk to slow down and THE RESULT OF MONTHLY ELECTRICITY BILL will decrease 25%. Just place the magnet on both sides of the Electricity Meter then It will slow down. WARNING: Do not get caught by the Readers or you will busted for jail! WORKS ON ME! :D
