Option 3 : Damping force
Concept:
There are three types of torques produced in an indicating instrument.
1.) Deflecting Torque:
- The torque needed to move the pointer over a calibrated scale is known as deflecting torque.
- The deflecting torque (Td) in the analog measurement device is proportional to the current through the coil.
2.) Controlling Torque:
- The controlling torque (Tc) opposes the deflecting torque and increases with the deflection of the moving system.
- The pointer comes to rest at a position where the two opposing torques are equal.
- Controlling torque is provided either by spring control or by gravity control.
3.) Damping Torque:
- This torque is used to damp out the final oscillation produced in an indicating instrument.
- Damping torque is provided either by eddy current, air friction, or fluid friction damping.
