The resistance in the circuit of the moving coil of a dynamometer wattmeter should be_____________?

Correct answer: C. high

  • A. almost zero
  • B. low
  • C. high
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

The moving-coil or pressure-coil circuit of a dynamometer wattmeter must have high resistance so that its current is small and the instrument does not significantly load the measured circuit. Low resistance would cause excessive pressure-coil current and error.
