Concept

The voltage reading of a moving iron voltmeter corresponds to the true RMS voltage across its resistance:

Vmeter = IAC × R

where, IAC = AC current

R = DC resistance

Calculation

Given, VDC = 250 V

IDC = 0.05 A

L = 1 H

f = 100 Hz

Impedance at 100Hz, ZAC = 6000 Ω

ZAC = 5040 Ω 

Vmeter = (0.04167× (5000)

Vmeter = 208.33 V
