Which of the following types of instruments depends on the iron vanes ...
Moving-iron instrument depends on the iron vane's attraction to the current-carrying coil to be measured for proper operation.
Moving-iron instrument:
- Whenever a piece of iron is placed nearer to a magnet it would be attracted by the magnet. The force of this attraction depends upon the strength of the magnetic field.
- If the magnet is an electromagnet then the magnetic field strength can easily be increased or decreased by increasing or decreasing the current through its coil.
- Accordingly, the attraction force acting on the piece of iron would also be increased and decreased.
- Depending upon this simple phenomenon, the moving iron instrument was developed.
