2. Voltmeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltmeter

   Simple AC voltmeters use a rectifier connected to a DC measurement circuit, which responds to the average value of the waveform. The meter can be calibrated to display the root mean square value of the waveform, assuming a fixed relation between the average value of the rectified waveform and the RMS value. If the waveform departs significantly ...

3. Solenoid voltmeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_voltmeter

   Some manufacturers include a continuity test lamp function in a solenoid meter; these use the same probes as the voltage test function. This feature is useful when testing the status of contacts in energized circuits. The continuity light displays if the contact is closed, and the solenoid voltmeter shows voltage presence if open (and energized).

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 ...
