Electro Meters 1311 As it takes 1/100 amperes to swing the pointer over fullscale for every volt the instrnment reads^, it must have 100ohms in the resistance coil. A 500 volt instrnment will have 500^000 ohms resistance^and hence 1/100 amperes will flow through the moving coil. The moving coil is… … Fig. 614switch board instrument a certain spot and stop dead. This is called a ^^dead beat^needle. Some instruments have electro-magnets instead of per-manent magnets. The Thomson Astatic instruments areof this type.
