Qno.1. The coil of a moving coil voltmeter is ( ¿ mm wide and has 100 turns wound on it. The
2
control spring exerts a torque of 0.25 × 10-3 Nm when the deflection is 50 divisions on the scale. If the
flux density of the magnetic field in the air-gap is X Wb/m2, find the resistance that must be put in series
with the coil to give1 volt per division. Resistance of the voltmeter is 100X Ω. [CLO2:PLO2]
Qno.2 A moving-coil instrument has at normal temperature a resistance of 10X W and a current of 45
mA gives full scale deflection. If its resistance rises to 10.2 Ω due to temperature change, calculate the
reading when a current of 2000 A is measured by means of a 0.225 × 10-3. A shunt of constant resistance.
What is the percentage error? [CLO2:PLO2]

Qno.3 A moving-coil voltmeter has a resistance of Ω and the full scale deflection is reached when

450 X
a potential difference of mV is applied across the terminals. The moving coil has effective
50
dimensions of 30 mm ×25 mm and is wound with 100 turns. The flux density in the gap is 0.2X Wb/m2.
Determine the control constant of the spring if the final deflection is X° and a suitable diameter of copper
wire for the coil winding if X/100 % of the total instrument resistance is due to the coil winding.
Resistivity of copper is 1.7 × 10-8 Ωm [CLO2:PLO2]

Qno.4 A moving-coil instrument has the following data: number of turns = (5+ X) , width of coil = 20
mm, depth of coil = 30 mm, flux density in the gap = 0.1 Wb/m2. Calculate the deflecting torque when
carrying a current of 10 mA. Also calculate the deflection if the control spring constant is 2 × 10-6 N-
m/degree. [CLO2:PLO2]
Qno.5 The coil of a PMMC instrument has 60 turns, on a former that is 18 mm wide, the effective length
of the conductor being 3072+ X 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. [CLO2:PLO2]
Note: value of X can be calculated by multiplying 2 with addition of last three digits in the
3
reg. no of the students if the addition is odd no. otherwise multiply with addition of last three
4
digits in reg.no.
