The damping force in a meter

  • prevents oscillation of the pointer.
  • returns the pointer to zero.
  • assists the pointer across the scale.

Explanation from PART66Online

The damping force brings the pointer smoothly to rest and prevents it from oscillating or overshooting around the true reading, giving a quick, steady deflection. Returning the pointer to zero is the controlling force, and assisting motion across the scale is the deflecting force, not damping.

Hey Obrien!

It was a little mistake in the database. Question was paired with answers for other question. :) Fixed that.
