<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Try a very low value. This will cause any emf
induced by the coil's movement to form a current that naturally damps any
movement. Lenz's law, in fact.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Hi..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2> Does anyone know how to
achieve the moving-coil meter damping trick as seen in many multimeters?
Such that, when the meter is off, something is connected across the meter to
greatly restrict its tendency to swing wildly about when the meter is
carried or moved. I seem to remember something about 'high value resistors'
being placed across the meter, but that doesn't seem to have any effect. Any
ideas?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Thanks in advance</FONT></DIV>
