In a radial magnetic field, the plane of the coil is always parallel to the magnetic field (
[ \textCurrent Sensitivity = \frac\thetaI = \fracNABk ] (k = torsional constant of spring)
Symmetrically placed inside the coil to concentrate magnetic flux.
Not easily affected by stray magnetic fields due to the strong internal field. Cannot be used to measure Alternating Current (AC).
A current-carrying coil placed in a magnetic field experiences a torque .
