With no current flowing through the conductor, the spring will be at its outstretched length. As current flows through the conductor, the spring will stretch and developed force required to balance the electromagnetic force.

Important parts of PMMC Instrument
•Permanent magnet with two soft-iron poles• Moving coil • Controlling or restoring spring
Torque Equation and Scale
When a current I flows through a one-turn coil in a magnetic field , a force exerted on each side of the coil
L = the length of coil perpendicular to the paper
F = IBLF = IBLF = IBL
Since the force acts on each side of the coil, the total force for a coil of N turns is
D
F = NIBL
The force on each side acts at a coil diameter D, producing a deflecting torque
TD = NIBLD
Torque Equation and Scale
The controlling torque exerted by the spiral springs is proportional to the angle of deflection of the pointer:
Since all quantities except θ and I are constant for any given instrument, the deflection angle is
θ = CI
TC = KθWhere K = the spring constant. For a given deflection, the controlling and deflecting torques are equal
BLIND = Kθ
Therefore the pointer deflection is always proportional to the coil current. Consequently, the scale of the instrument is linear.
Galvanometer
• Galvanometer is essentially a PMMC instrument designed to be sensitive to extremely current levels.
• The simplest galvanometer is a very sensitive instrument with the type of center-zero scale, therefore the pointer can be deflected to either right or left of the zero position.
• The current sensitivity is stated in µA/mm

• An ammeter is always connected in series with a circuit.
• The internal resistance should be very low
• The pointer can be deflected by a very small current
• Extension of ranges of ammeter can be achieved by connecting a very low shunt resistor
Example: An ammeter has a PMMC instrument with a coil resistance of Rm = 99 Ω and FSD current of 0.1 mA. Determine the total current passing through the ammeter at (a) FSD, (b) 0.5 FSD, and (c) 0.25 FSD.

AC Voltmeter: PMMC Based• Basic PMMC instrument is polarized, therefore its terminals must be identified as + and -.• PMMC instrument can not response quite well with the frequency 50 Hz or higher, So the pointer will settle at the average value of the current flowing through the moving coil: average-responding meter.
