system.
The moment of inertia associated with the moving pointer will oppose the
action of the pointer to come to rest suddenly. So, the pointer continues to
move beyond the final suddenly.
At some point, where the controlling torques overcome the moment of
inertia and deflecting torque, it makes the pointer move towards its final
position. Even now, the moment of inertia of the pointer makes it move
below its final position.
Even though, the pointer finally settles down, so that the reading can be
observed, the time taken to observe each reading will be quite long. In
order to obtain the reading immediately, the oscillations are to be
damped .

Electromagnetic Damping
Electromagnetic damping can be achieved by passing the electric current
through a magnetic coil such that the torque generated is acting against
the natural movement of the coil. The disadvantage of electromagnetic
damping is similar to that of eddy current damping. This method of
damping torque is commonly used in galvanometers.
