Angular deflection at full scale current of I = 25 A is given by:
In an electrodynamic instrument the total resistance of the
voltage coil circuit is 8200 Ω and the mutual inductance changes uniformly from -173 μH at zero deflection to +175 μH at full scale. The angle of full scale being 95°. If a Example 2.14 potential difference of 100 V is applied across the voltage circuit and a current of 3 A at a power factor of 0.75 is passed through the current coil, what will be the deflection. Spring constant of the instrument is 4.63 × 10-6 N-m/rad. Solution Change in mutual inductance dM = 175 – (–173) = 348 µH Deflection θ = 95° = 1.66 rad Rate of change of mutual inductance

Determine the difference between dc and 50 Hz ac reading at 50 volts if the voltmeter inductance increases uniformly over the full scale of 90°. Solution Full-scale deflection 6 = 90°
