Every indicating instrument requires a controlling torque so that

  • A.the deflection settles at a definite value for a given input
  • B.the pointer comes to rest without oscillating about its position
  • C.the instrument can be used on alternating as well as direct current
  • D.the scale can be divided into equal intervals throughout

Answer: A

Correct answer: the deflection settles at a definite value for a given input

Without a controlling torque the pointer would swing to the end of the scale for any input at all, since nothing would oppose the deflecting torque. The controlling torque grows with deflection, so the pointer stops where the two balance - and it also returns the pointer to zero when the input is removed.
