Draw the construction and explain working principle of PMMC instruments
Working: When current passes through the coil a deflecting torque is produced. This deflecting torque is produced due to interaction between magnetic field produced by permanent magnet and magnetic field produced by moving coil. Due to this torque the coil deflects and this deflection is proportional to the current flowing through the coil. The pointer attached to the coil indicated the magnitude of quantity being measured. The another torque is developed by the hair spring known as controlling torque. This torque helps to stabilize the pointer. The pointer becomes stable at equilibrium; this is possible only when the controlling torque becomes equal to the deflecting torque
