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. It is more rugged than a D'arsonval movement, but neither as sensitive nor as precise.

A digital voltmeter (DVM) measures an unknown input voltage by converting the voltage to a digital value and then displays the voltage in numeric form. DVMs are usually designed around a special type of analog-to-digital converter called an integrating converter .
The solenoid can be useful for positioning, stopping mid-stroke, or for low velocity actuation; especially in a closed loop control system. A uni-directional solenoid would actuate against an opposing force or a dual solenoid system would be self cycling. The proportional concept is more fully described in SAE publication 860759 (1986).
This equation is valid for a solenoid in free space, which means the permeability of the magnetic path is the same as permeability of free space, μ 0. If the solenoid is immersed in a material with relative permeability μ r, then the field is increased by that amount: =.
