All deflection instruments require three forces for correct functioning; deflecting force, a controlling force, and a damping force. Usually, the deflecting force is generated by a magnetic field produced by a current flowing through a coil. This field interacts with another magnetic field which may be form permanent magnet or from other current carrying coils.
