An electromechanical meter typically consists of dials that display information such as readings or measurements. In this case, the question mentions that there is a pointer in each dial.
To determine the total number of dials in the electromechanical meter, we consider the fact that each dial has a pointer. Therefore, for each pointer, there must be a corresponding dial. This means that the number of pointers is equal to the number of dials.
So, based on the information provided in the question, the correct answer is:
B. 5 dials
Each pointer corresponds to one dial, resulting in a total of 5 dials in the electromechanical meter.
