To limit the current flow through a DC voltmeter to as low a value as possible, what is the moving coil circuit provided with?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — high series resistance
To minimize current draw and ensure accurate voltage readings, a DC voltmeter incorporates a high series resistance. This limits the current flowing through the meter movement itself, adhering to design considerations for measurement accuracy under 46 CFR Subchapter J.
