The electrical power is iea, and

the mechanical power is Td/dt= Gid/dt
Both power must be equal
iea= Gid/dt

This is second order differential equation which can

be overdamped, underdamped or critically damped.

It is often to choose s making the Galvanometer to

be critically damped, the value of such s is called
CDRX

The mechanical damping D is often very small and

can be neglected
