  2. Voltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltmeter

    The first digital voltmeter was invented and produced by Andrew Kay of Non-Linear Systems (and later founder of Kaypro) in 1954. [1] Simple AC voltmeters use a rectifier connected to a DC measurement circuit, which responds to the average value of the waveform.

  3. 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.

  4. Short-circuit test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_test

    A voltmeter is optional since the applied voltage is the same as the voltmeter reading. Now with the help of a variac, the applied voltage is slowly increased until the ammeter gives a reading equal to the rated current of the HV side. After reaching the rated current of the HV side, all three instruments reading (Voltmeter, Ammeter, and ...

  5. Shunt (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunt_(electrical)

    In this case, a separate shunt, a resistor of very low but accurately known resistance, is placed in parallel with a voltmeter, so that virtually all of the current to be measured will flow through the shunt (provided that the very high internal resistance of the voltmeter takes such a low portion of the current that it can be considered ...

  6. Galvanometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanometer

    A meter can be calibrated as a DC voltmeter if the resistance of the coil is known by calculating the voltage required to generate a full-scale current. A meter can be configured to read other voltages by putting it in a voltage divider circuit. This is generally done by placing a resistor in series with the meter coil.

  9. Voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage

    Voltage, also known as (electrical) potential difference, electric pressure, or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points. [1] [2] In a static electric field, it corresponds to the work needed per unit of charge to move a positive test charge from the first point to the second point.
