Exam Question
(a) Explain the construction and principle of operation of permanent magnet moving coil instrument (8)
(b) A permanent magnet moving coil instrument has a coil of dimension 15mm X 12mm. The flux density in the air gap is 1.8 X 10^-3 wb/m2 and the spring constant is 0.4 X 10^-6 Nm /rad. Determine the number of turns required to produce an angular deflection of 90deg when a current of 5 mA is flowing through the coil (8)
