Correct answer: A. spring
- A. spring
- B. gravity
- C. eddy currents
- D. all of the above
Explanation
Portable instruments generally use spring control because the spring provides a nearly uniform controlling torque regardless of the instrument's position. Gravity control is unsuitable when the instrument orientation may change.
