PMMC
Most accurate type for dc measurements
Principle:
When a current carrying conductor is placed in the
magnetic field produced by the permanent magnet , coil
experiences a force and moves.
As the coil is moving and the magnet is permanent, this
instrument is called as permanent magnet moving coil
instrument.
This principle is called as D’ Arsonal principle
force experienced is proportional to the current flowing in
coil.

Mechanical resonant type frequency meter
(vibrating reed type)
Consists of number of thin metal strips called reeds.
When the frequency meter is connected across the supply,
whose frequency is to be measured, the coil of electromagnet
carries a current I which alternate at the supply frequency.
The force attraction between the reeds and the electromagnet
is proportional to i2 and therefore this force varies at twice the
supply frequency.
