Voltmeter Sensitivity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Voltmeter Sensitivity = 1/Full Scale Deflection Current
S = 1/I_f
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Voltmeter Sensitivity - (Measured in Ohm Per Volt) - Voltmeter Sensitivity refers to the ability of a voltmeter to detect small changes or variations in voltage.
Full Scale Deflection Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Full Scale Deflection Current is the maximum current that an instrument can measure, causing its pointer or display to reach the highest position on its scale.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Full Scale Deflection Current: 0.3 Ampere --> 0.3 Ampere No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = 1/I_f --> 1/0.3

Voltage Multiplying Power of Moving Iron Voltmeter

Go Multiplying Factor = sqrt(((Meter Internal Resistance+Series Resistance)^2+(Angular Frequency*Inductance)^2)/((Meter Internal Resistance)^2+(Angular Frequency*Inductance)^2))

Deflection Angle of Electrodynamometer Voltmeter

Go Deflection Angle = (Total Voltage^2*Mutual Inductance Change with Angle*cos(Phase Difference))/(Spring Constant*Impedance^2)

Voltage of Moving Iron Voltmeter

Go Voltage = Meter Current*sqrt((Meter Internal Resistance+Series Resistance)^2+(Angular Frequency*Inductance)^2)
