Full-scale deflecting torque, Td = 0.

4 × 10-4 Nm
Full-scae deflection current, I = 50 mA = 0.05
A Initial induction, M = 0.25 H

Since deflecting torque,

So for full-scale deflection 0 4 × 10-4 = (0 05)2

or,
Total change in inductance for full-scale deflection,

Total mutual inductance, M = 0.25 + 0.0251 = 0.2751 H

The resistance of voltmeter,

The impedance while measuring the voltage of 50 V at 50 Hz AC

And voltmeter reading, =

Therefore, difference in reading = 50 – 49.8 = 0.2 V

2.10 ELECTROSTATIC INSTRUMENTS

In electrostatic instruments, the deflecting torque is produced by action of electric field on

charged conductors. Such instruments are essentially voltmeters, but they may be used
with the help of external components to measure the current and power. Their greatest use
in the laboratory is for measurement of high voltages.
