How many control springs are provided in Power Factor Meter?

This question was previously asked in
RRB ALP/Technician 2018 CBT 2 Electronics Mechanic Question Paper (23-Jan-2019) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is
Zero

Power Factor Meter Control Springs Quantity

Control springs in analog measuring instruments typically provide a restoring torque, ensuring the pointer returns to zero when the input signal is removed and resisting the deflecting torque to allow for a steady reading.

However, certain types of Power Factor Meters, particularly those based on digital technology or specific electrodynamic designs, do not require physical control springs. In these instruments, the restoring force or indication mechanism is often managed by electronic circuits or derived from the magnetic field interactions themselves, making dedicated springs unnecessary for operation.

Therefore, the number of control springs provided in such Power Factor Meters is zero.
