In a Weston frequency meter, the magnetic axes of the two fixed coils are__________________?
Correct answer: B. perpendicular
- A. parallel
- B. perpendicular
- C. inclined at 60°
- D. inclined at 120°
Explanation
The two fixed coils of a Weston frequency meter are arranged with perpendicular magnetic axes. Their opposing effects vary with frequency, producing a pointer position that indicates the frequency.
