Spring Constant in Electrical Instrumentation Formulas

Spring Constant determines the restoring force of the spring opposing the deflection, ensuring accurate measurement by balancing the magnetic force from the current. And is denoted by K_mi. Spring Constant is usually measured using the Newton Meter per Radian for Torsion Constant. Note that the value of Spring Constant is always positive.
