Concept:

In PMMC meters deflecting torque is given by,

\({T_d} = BINA\)

B is the magnetic flux density

I is the current

N is the number of turns

A is the area of cross section

Calculation:

\({T_d} = 200 \times {10^{ - 3}} \times 100 \times 10 \times {10^{ - 3}} \times 20 \times {10^{ - 3}} \times 50 \times {10^{ - 3}}\)

\({T_d} = 200\;\mu \;N - m\)
