To measure current values above 20 milliamperes, which would cause overheating in the hairspring used to lead the current into and out of the moving coil, a shunt is used, with a milliammeter connected in parallel. The millimeter scale is marked in terms of the total current in the shunt and the instrument. To measure voltages, the current taken by the instrument must be small. Hence a series resistor or multiplier is used of a value suitable to give full-scale deflection with a current in the range 0.1-10 milliamperes. Moving iron instruments of alternating currents and voltages: In these instruments the current or voltage to be measured is used to excite a stationary coil in whose fields placed a moving vane of high permeablility steel together with a spring and pointer. The motion of the vane is such as to increase the flux through it and so the torque produced by the reaction of the magnetic fields of the electromagnet and the vane increases the induct
