  2. Voltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltmeter

    A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. It is connected in parallel . It usually has a high resistance so that it takes negligible current from the circuit.

  3. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    Analog multimeter Digital multimeter. A multimeter (also known as a volt-ohm-milliammeter, volt-ohmmeter or VOM) [1] is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. [2] [3] A typical multimeter can measure voltage, resistance, and current, [4] in which case can be used as a voltmeter, ohmmeter, and ammeter.

  4. Voltameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltameter

    A 19th century version of a voltameter. A voltameter or coulometer is a scientific instrument used for measuring electric charge (quantity of electricity) through electrolytic action.

  5. Class of accuracy in electrical measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_of_accuracy_in...

    Ideally the measuring device should not affect the circuit parameters i.e., the internal impedance of the ammeter should be zero (no voltage drop over the ammeter) and the internal impedance of the voltmeter should be infinite (no current through the voltmeter). However, in actual case, ammeters have a low but non zero impedance and voltmeters ...

  6. Electrostatic voltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_voltmeter

    An electrostatic voltmeter uses the attraction force between two charged surfaces to create a deflection of a pointer directly calibrated in volts. Since the attraction force is the same regardless of the polarity of the charged surfaces (as long as the charge is opposite), the electrostatic voltmeter can measure DC voltages of either polarity.

  8. Solenoid voltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_voltmeter

    A solenoid voltmeter is a specific type of voltmeter electricians use to test electrical power circuits. [1] It uses a solenoid coil to attract a spring-loaded plunger; the movement of the plunger is calibrated in terms of approximate voltage.
