Question
a) Show for the ammeter circuit in Fig. P3.36 that the current in the d’Arsonval movement is always 1/25th of the current being measured.
b) What would the fraction be if the 100 mV, 2 mA movement were used in a 5 A ammeter?
c) Would you expect a uniform scale on a dc d’Arsonval ammeter?
Solution
The first step in solving 3 problem number 36 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: a) Show for the ammeter circuit in Fig. P3.36 that the current in the d’Arsonval movement is always 1/25th of the current being measured. b) What would the fraction be if the 100 mV, 2 mA movement were used in a 5 A ammeter? c) Would you expect a uniform scale on a dc d’Arsonval ammeter?
From the textbook chapter Simple Resistive Circuits you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
