The pointer on a galvenometer moves due to magnetic force between the current carrying coil in the pointer assembly and the permanent magnet surrounding that coil.


Why pmmc used for DC only?

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.

Can a magnet cause an electric current to flow through a wire?

You obviously cannot more a magnet through a coil in the direction of the current, because the magnet must move, axially, along the length of the coil, while the current moves radially, around the coil. However, if you move a conductor within a coil carrying a d.c. current, then the magnet will induce a voltage into that coil which will oppose the voltage applied to the coil.


What happens when a wire is looped into a coil?

When you wind a current carrying wire into a coil, it causes the concentration of the magnetic field line to intensify. Depending on which pole of the magnet is in the up position, the wire will move towards or bend away from it.
