The brake magnet in an energy meter produces:

  • A.an opposing torque that acts against the turning torque of the aluminium disc
  • B.a controlling torque
  • C.a deflecting torque
  • D.an aiding torque that acts aids the turning torque of the aluminium disc

Answer: A

The brake magnet of an energy meter is a permanent magnet placed so that the aluminium disc rotates between its poles. The eddy currents induced in the moving disc produce a force that opposes the rotation, and this is the opposing, or braking, torque that acts against the turning torque of the disc and makes its speed proportional to the power. A controlling torque belongs to the spring of a pointer instrument, and a deflecting torque is the driving torque from the coils. The answer is option (A).
