Question

What damping is used in PMMC instrument?

A.

Eddy current

B.

Electromagnetic

C.

Fluid friction

D.

Air friction

Correct option is A

· Eddy current damping is used where a high value of the magnetic field is required.
· For instance, eddy current damping is generally used in Permanent Magnetic Moving Coil which is known as PMMC and it is an instrument which is used to measure current or voltage.
