Voltmeter






Definition: A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electrical potential difference between two points in an electric circuit.

Construction and working:

1)      Voltmeters are made in a wide range of styles.
2)      Analog voltmeters move a pointer across a scale in proportion to the voltage of the circuit, digital voltmeters give a numerical display of volatge by use of an analog to digital converter.
3)      Instruments permanently mounted in a panel are used to monitor generators or other fixed apparatus.
4)      Portable instruments, usually equipped to also measure current and resistanec in the form of a multimeter are standard test instruments used in electrical and electronics work.

Use:

1)      Measuring potential difference between two points in an electric circuit.
2)      Measuring the voltages from a fraction of a volt to several thousand volts. Meters using amplifiers can measure tiny voltages of microvolt or less.
3)      It is also used as a safety device.
4)      The amount of voltage measured can display easily.
