Question

What is deflecting torque?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The deflecting torque or operating force is required for moving the pointer from its zero position. ... Thus the deflecting system of an instrument converts the electric current or potential into a mechanical force called deflecting torque.

Answer 2

The deflecting torque or operating force is required for moving the pointer from its zero position.The system producing the deflecting force is called "Deflecting system or Moving System".The deflecting torque can be produced by utilising any of the effects mentioned earlier.Thus the deflecting system of an instrument converts the electric current or potential into a mechanical force called deflecting torque.The deflecting system thus acts as the prime mover responsible for deflection of the pointer.
