THE D’ARSONVAL
MOVEMENT
The D'Arsonval-type meter is a PMMC
meter that consists of a moving coil
suspended between the poles of a
permanent magnet, as shown in the Figure.

AMMETERS
To determine the shunt resistance, we note
that the voltage across the shunt is equal to
the voltage across the meter.
That is,
Vshunt = Vm
IshRsh = IfsRm
IfsR m
and R sh =
Ish
IfsR m
=
