Expression for Deflecting Torque & Controlling torque

Expression for Deflecting Torque

Force on a coil side = BilN (Newton, N)
Torque on both coil sides = (2r) (BilN) (Nm)
                                       = Gi (Nm)









G = Constant.
Hence deflecting torque, Td α I.

Expression for Controlling torque


Since the instrument is spring controlled, Control torque = Cθ
Hence Tc α θ.
The pointer will come to a rest when Td = Tc
Therefore θ α  I
Thus the deflection is directly proportional to the operating current. Hence such instruments have a uniform scale.
