Atoms or ions with unpaired electrons are attracted to a magnetic field; the more unpaired electrons, the greater is the attraction. Such substances are called paramagnetic. Molecular oxygen is a paramagnetic gas by virtue of its two unpaired electrons.
In the PMMC type instrument, the deflection is directly proportional to the current flowing through the instrument, we get a uniform scale for the instrument. It gives a uniform scale of upto 270° or more. Td ∝ I
The combined inductance of two coils connected in series L = L1 + L2 + 2M In series adding case L1 + L2 + 2M = 0.6 H ——–(1) In series opposing case L1 + L2 − 2M = 0.1 H ——–(2) Subtracting eqn (2) from eqn (1) we get 4M = 0.5 H M = 0.125 H Let L1 = 0.2 H (since the coil when isolated, its self-inductance is 0.2 H) Putting the value of M & L1 in equation (2) 0.2 + L2 + 2 ×0.125 = 0.06 0.2 + L2 = 0.35 L2 = 0.15 H
