The pressure coil of a dynamometer type wattmeter is
- A. Highly inductive
- B. Highly resistive
- C. Purely resistive
- D. Purely inductive
Answer: B. Highly resistive
Explanation: The pressure coil of an electrodynamometer wattmeter is designed to be highly resistive (connected in series with a large non-inductive resistor) to keep its current in phase with voltage.
