FAQ

What is the Spring Constant?
Spring Constant in a galvanometer refers to the stiffness of the spring used to suspend the moving coil or pointer within the galvanometer. Spring Constant is usually measured using the Newton Meter per Radian for Torsion Constant. Note that the value of Spring Constant is always positive.
Can the Spring Constant be negative?
No, the Spring Constant, measured in Torsion Constant cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Spring Constant?
Spring Constant is usually measured using the Newton Meter per Radian[Nm/rad] for Torsion Constant. Newton Centimeter per Radian[Nm/rad] are the few other units in which Spring Constant can be measured.
