The scale of a moving coil instrument is uniform because its deflecting torque is

  • A.proportional to the square of the current
  • B.proportional to the square root of the current
  • C.independent of the current altogether
  • D.proportional to the current

Answer: D

Correct answer: proportional to the current

With a permanent magnet supplying a constant field, the torque on the coil is proportional to the current in it, and the spring torque is proportional to the deflection. The two balance at a deflection proportional to the current, which gives an evenly divided scale - one of the movement’s principal advantages.
