A DC voltmeter can read an electrostatic field's potential since it can measure a non-changing voltage.

However, a electrostatic charge is by definition non-moving. When it does move, it becomes a direct current.

Why pmmc instrument measure only ac not dc?

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.

Typical VOMs can measure both AC and DC.


If ad is 10 units and ab is 8 units what is the measure of dc?

Given that AB = 8 units and AD = 10 units, we can use the ratios of corresponding sides in similar triangles to find the measure of DC. Since triangle ADC is similar to triangle ABC, the ratio of DC to AB is equal to the ratio of AD to AC. Thus, DC/8 = 10/AC. Solving for DC, DC = 8 * 10 / AC.

Can measure Automatic Voltage Regulator voltage of a generator by dc meter?

No, you cannot accurately measure the output voltage of an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) using a DC meter, as the AVR typically regulates AC voltage for the generator. A DC meter is designed for measuring direct current voltage, while the voltage output from a generator is usually alternating current (AC). To measure the AC voltage effectively, you would need an AC voltmeter or a multimeter set to the AC voltage setting.
