cted to the cable would be proportional to theweight of the iron in the wrench and the amount of the ELECTRICITY FOR ENGINEERS 137 current flowing through the cable. This, I think, willexplain an electrical phenomenon which will assist usto understand what are called the magnetic vane volt-meters… … FIGURE 78. pointer. The attraction will be proportional to theamount of current flowing over the copper conductor.The advantage of such an instrument is its simplicity,but the disadvantage is its inaccuracy. Its simplicity isapparent, and its inaccuracy is due to the residualmagnetism that remains…
