Which one of the following is not an electromechanical instrument ?
Correct answer: D. AC transformer and DC generator
- A. galvanometer
- B. voltmeter
- C. ammeter
- D. AC transformer and DC generator
Explanation
A galvanometer, ammeter and voltmeter are electromechanical measuring instruments because current produces mechanical motion or deflection. An AC transformer and a DC generator are electrical machines or devices rather than electrical measuring instruments. Students may choose c by treating an ammeter as purely electronic, although the traditional ammeter is based on electromechanical deflection.

About Steady Current
Steady current is the continuous flow of charge at a constant rate through a conductor. The topic covers current, charge, potential difference, resistance, Ohm's law, resistivity and electrical power, along with series and parallel circuits, while distinguishing conventional current direction from electron motion.
