Which of the following is used for alternating current measurement? Correct Answer Induction ammeter

  • The operation of induction type instruments depends on the production of torque due to reaction between two magnetic fluxes having some phase difference or reaction between the flux of an AC magnet and the eddy current induced by this flux.
  • Hence, These types of instruments are used only for AC measurements.
