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
A DC voltmeter requires high internal series resistance to limit current flow through its delicate moving coil to safe, microampere levels while measuring potential differences across high-voltage circuits. This construction complies with standard meter design criteria mandated by IEEE 45.
