Which type of damping is generally preferred in case of instruments having a weak magnetic field?

  • Air friction damping is generally preferred in case of instruments having a weak magnetic field.
  • Air friction damping is often preferred in instruments having a weak magnetic field because the magnetic damping is not effective in such instruments.
  • Magnetic damping works by generating a magnetic field that opposes the motion of the moving system, thus reducing the amplitude of the oscillations.
  • However, in instruments having a weak magnetic field, the magnetic damping is not strong enough to provide effective damping.
  • In such cases, air friction damping is used to damp the oscillations of the moving system.
