Concept explainers
The current that will give full-scale deflection.
Answer to Problem 56P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The spring constant decreases by
Formula used:
The deflection is proportional to the ratio of current and the spring constant.
Calculation:
Since deflection is proportional to the ratio of current and spring constant. If the spring constant decreases so will be the current to produce the same amount of deflection. Thus, if the current decreases by
Conclusion:
Therefore,
