b) The coil of a recording ammeter is 65mm long and 25mm wide. The rated current of the coil is
10 mA. The flux density in the air gap is 4.6 X 10-3 Wb/m 2. The damping constant is 8 X 10
-3 N-
m/rad-s- '. The moment of inertia is 8 X 10-3 kg-m2
. The spring constant is 16 X 10-3 N-m/rad.
The coulomb friction is 0.2 X 10-6 N-m.
i) Determine if the meter is underdamped, critically damped or over-damped.
ii) Determine the number of turns on the coil to produce a deflection of 100 degrees at
rated current.
iii) Determine the current required to overcome coulomb friction.
