Damping refers to limiting movement of something. In England, a 'Shock absorber' is called a 'Damper,' because that's what a shock absorber does - it limits the movement of some oscillating mass (like your car body) so that it doesn't shake out of control.
Any analog electric meter has some dampening mechanism in it so that quickly changing readings won't shake the movement too much. This makes for more accurate average readings of a quantity. If you need to see the changes that are occuring rapidly, like transient voltages or pulses, you wouldn't use an analog meter, you would use an oscilloscope

What is the function of a quartz analog speedometer?
A quartz analog speedometer uses the quartz crystal to provide a precise time base for calculating speed by measuring the time taken for the speedometer cable to rotate a certain number of times. The crystal ensures accuracy and stability in measuring speed.
What method is a forecasting method based on the idea that the weather ....?
Analog
What is SI unit of measuring pain?
There is no standardized SI unit for measuring pain. Pain is subjective and therefore difficult to quantify using a single unit of measurement. Instead, pain intensity is often assessed using scales such as the visual analog scale or numerical rating scale.
What are the similarities of PMMC and moving iron type measuring instruments?
Both PMMC (Permanent Magnet Moving Coil) and moving iron type measuring instruments are analog devices used for measuring electrical quantities. They both operate based on the interaction between magnetic fields and electric currents to produce a mechanical deflection for display. Additionally, they are both commonly used in applications where accuracy and precision are important factors.
Who created distortion?
Distortion in music can be created intentionally by musicians and producers using effects pedals or software plugins to alter the sound of an instrument or voice. It can also occur naturally as a result of overloading analog equipment or through the characteristics of certain amplifiers.
Is CRO analog or digital instrument?
CRO is an analog instrument.
How analog instrument interfaced with a digital instrument?
Analog instrument are interface with digital instrument with the help of analog to digital converter(ADC).ADC converts analog signals to digital signals.
Why is critical damping faster than overdamping?
Critical damping is faster than overdamping because it minimizes the time it takes for a system to return to equilibrium without oscillating. In critical damping, there is no oscillation, while in overdamping, the system takes longer to return to equilibrium due to excessive damping causing slow decay of oscillations.
What is 310 in analog form?
The answer depends on what it is that you are measuring.
What is the difference between analog and digital altimeter?
Analog is displayed in a clock like instrument digital is shoun in numbers
What are the different methods of damping used in analog indicating instruments?
Damping torque can be provided by: (a) air friction damping (b) fluid friction damping (c) eddy current damping. In air friction damping, a light piston moves with a very small clearance in air chamber. The piston moves against pressure of air in air chamber. In fluid friction damping, light varies are attached to spindle of moving system. The movement of spindle is suppressed due to fluid friction, Eddy current damping is one of the most efficient method of damping. It is based on the principle that whenever a sheet of conducting but non magnetic material like copper or aluminum moves in magnetic field, eddy currents are induced.

When measuring an unknown voltage with a multitester or analog VOM you should first?
Go to highest scale on AC range
What unit of measurement is used for measuring the phase of analog signals?
amperes, volts, watts (OSI Model CBT answer = Degrees)
What is CT burden in electrical engineering?
CT (current transformer) Burden is the maximum load that the CT secondary can drive (e.g. meters or protection relays) Why do you care about burden when ordering current transformers? The burden is the termination impedance of the measuring instrument. The measuring instrument can be an analog or digital energy meter, a data logger or a recorder. All instruments that use a current transformer to measure line current must terminate the CT with a resistance (impedance in same case which means there is some inductance involved). A CT supplier should be given the burden when ordering. Technically, the total burden for a CT is the internal winding resistance, the connecting lead resistance and the measuring instrument input resistance. Some Ct's are installed a long distance from the measuring instrument and the connecting leads can have a resistance as much as 0.002 ohms per foot (both ways because the current makes a complete round trip). This resistance will cause an error if not taken into account.
What are the characteristics of a micrometer?
A micrometer is a precision measuring instrument used to measure dimensions with high accuracy. It typically has a spindle that moves in response to the rotation of a thimble, allowing for precise measurements. Micrometers can come in various types, including digital and analog versions, and are commonly used in engineering, manufacturing, and machining applications.
