Permanent magnet moving coil instruments are used for measuring d.c. quantities only. This is so because for these instruments the torque is proportional to the operating quantity either voltage or current.
Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, like, a DC voltmeter is only gonna measure direct current voltage, ya know? If you try to use it on AC voltage, it's gonna be like trying to use a fork to eat soup - it's just not gonna work. So, yeah, stick to using an AC voltmeter for that job.
A typical multimeter can measure: * AC & DC voltage (volt) * AC & DC current (amp) * resistance (ohm)
S. No.Dynamometer Type WattmetersInduction Type Wattmeters1.The instrument can be used on both dc and ac systems.The instrument cannot be used on dc system.2.The instrument can have high degree of accuracy.If carefully designed.The instrument is less accurate. It is accurate only at stated frequency and temperature3.Power consumption is comparatively low.Power consumption is comparatively higher4.Weight of moving system is comparatively low.Weight of moving system is comparatively higher5.The instrument has uniform scale.The instrument has uniform and long scale6.The instrument has comparatively weaker working torque.The instrument has comparatively stronger working torque.
A multimeter is an instrument used to check for AC or DC voltages, resistance and continuity of electrical components, and small amounts of current in circuits. This instrument will let you check to see if there is voltage present on a circuit.
Only Stator winding is similar in both the cases.
Pmmc meter are most accurate instrument for DC measurement however they are unable to measure the AC quantity. The working principle is as follows: a moving coil is free to move in a external static magnetic field. And the pointer moves according to the interaction of two fields, field of static mag. and that of measuring quantity. Now in case of it is impossible to produce a sustained magnetic field, that's why we can not use PMMC to measure the ac.
Because in the coil DC current follow easly and pmmc meter is making with coil and AC current is not follow in coil so we used the pmmc only fpr DC current.
Digital Volt Meter (DMM)
A multimeter has the ability to measure both AC and DC current along with voltage and resistance.
A: A multimeter is an instrument design to measure ohms volts and amps. So to measure amps a shunt is provided to allow a sample of the current to be measured as a function of voltage.
firstly a galvanometer instrument measures very small amounts of current flow of a D,C, nature / type . an a.c. type circuit is likely to be of a high magnitude , such that it would render the instrument unusable and dangerous to the operator . also a galvanometer by design is known as a moving coil type meter , if an ac signal were to be connected to this, the rate of change of the ac signal voltage would be so fast / frequent that the user would be unaware that the signal is currently changing
Pliers, screwdriver and mechanic
It depends on where arc AC is.

A multimeter is the instrument used to measure current (amperes), voltage, and resistance. It can be set to measure AC or DC current and voltage, making it a versatile tool for electrical troubleshooting and maintenance.
Current transformer is a device used to measure the flow of current through a power system and the measured current is inputted to a protective relay system. It is used to detect system malfunction. Current transducer is a device used to measure AC and DC current based on the halt-effect technology.
Volt meter; And 500kV AC voltages are not measured directly - potential transformers, or capacitors are used to step 500kV down to safe voltage levels for measurement purposes (usually 66-120 volts).
