Electronics and Electrical Meter Measurement
Moving Coil MetersBegins with a current-sensitive element. Though most modern meters have solid state digital readouts, the physics is more readily demonstrated with a moving coil current detector called a galvanometer.

meter.

field interacts with the permanent magnets to cause torque.

the secondary of instrument current transformers (CT’s) using the TPI A254 Low-Current Clamp-On
Adapter.

Permanent-magnet meter movements, like permanent-magnet motors, are devices whose motion depends on the polarity of the applied voltage.
