1- The coil of a PMMC instrument has 60 turns, on a former that is 18 mm wide, the
effective length of the conductor being 25 mm. It moves in a uniform field of flux
density 0.5 Tesla. The control spring constant is 1.5 × 10-6 Nm/degree. Calculate
the current required to produce a deflection of 100 degree.
2- A PMMC instrument has a coil of dimensions 15 mm × 12 mm. The flux density in
the air gap is 1.8 × 10-3 wb/m2 and the spring constant is 0.14 × 10-6 N-m/rad.
Determine the number of turns required to produce an angular deflection of 90°
when a current of 5 mA is flowing through the coil.
3- A PMMC voltmeter with a resistance of 20 Ω gives a full- scale deflection of 120°
when a potential difference of 100 mV is applied across it. The moving coil has
dimensions of 30 mm × 25 mm and is wound with 100 turns. The control spring
constant is 0.375 × 10-6 N-m/degree. Find the flux density in the air gap. Find also
the dimension of copper wire of coil winding if 30% of the instrument resistance is
due to coil winding. The specific resistance of copper is 1.7 × 10-8 Ωm.
4- The coil of a moving-coil voltmeter is 40 mm long and 30 mm wide and has 100
turns on it. The control spring exerts a torque of 240 × 10-6 N-m when the
deflection is 100 divisions on full scale. If the flux density of the magnetic field in
the air gap is 1 wb/m2, estimate the resistance that must be put in series with the
coil to give one volt per division. The resistance of the voltmeter coil may be
neglected.
5- A moving coil instrument has a resistance of 5 Ω and gives a full scale deflection
of 10 mv. Show how the instrument may be used to measure
(a) voltage up to 50 v, and (b) current up to 10 A.
6- A moving-coil instrument has a resistance of 75 Ω and gives a full-scale deflection
of 100-scale divisions for a current of 1 mA. The instrument is connected in parallel
with a shunt of 25 Ω resistance and the combination is then connected in series
with a load and a supply. What is the current in the load when the instrument gives
an indication of 80 scale divisions?
