What causes a mechanical force to deflect the moving coil and pointer over the scale in electrodynamometer wattmeters?

Due to the currents in the coils, a mechanical force acts between them. Signup and view all the answers

Why can electrodynamometer wattmeters measure power in both AC as well as DC circuits?

As the reversal of the circuit current reverses the currents in both the current coil and potential coil so that the direction of deflecting torque remains unchanged. Signup and view all the answers
