Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are the classification of measuring instruments?

A1: Classification of measuring instruments are,

  1. Indicating instruments which make use of dial and pointer. These show or indicate unknown quantity’s magnitude. Voltmeter or ammeters are some of the examples
  2. Recording instruments are continuous recording of the provided electrical quality that is being measured over a specific period of time.
  3. Integrating instruments are used to measure the quantity of electricity delivered over a period of time.

Q2: What are the essential requirements of an instrument?

A2: Essential requirements of an instrument include,

  • Deflecting system which produces deflecting torque
  • Controlling system which produces controlling torque
  • Damping system which produces damping torque

Q3: What are the different effects produced by a current or voltage for a deflecting system to produce deflecting torque?

A3: Different effects produced by a current or voltage for a deflecting system to produce deflecting torque are,

  • Thermal effect
  • Induction effect
  • Hall effect
  • Magnetic effect
  • Electrostatic effect

Q4: What are the differences between Gravity control and Spring control?

A4: Difference between gravity control and spring control are

Gravity control Spring control
To produce controlling torque adjustable small weight is used To exert controlling torque two hair springs are used
The torque can vary Torque is fixed
Performance is not dependent on temperature Performance is dependent on temperature
Scale is not uniform Scale in uniform
Reading in gravity control cannot be taken accurately Reading in spring control can be taken accurately
System should be used  in Vertical position No compulsion  that system should be used in vertical position
Delicate, cheap and simple Rigid, costly and simple
