Answers
A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring the voltage or potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit. ... The digital voltmeter shows the voltage in numerical, it has an analog to digital converter.
Ammeter, instrument for measuring either direct or alternating electric current, in amperes. An ammeter can measure a wide range of current values because at high values only a small portion of the current is directed through the meter mechanism; a shunt in parallel with the meter carries the major portion.
Answer:
An ammeter (from ampere meter) is a measuring instrument used to measure the current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A), hence the name. The ammeter is usually connected in series with the circuit in which the current is to be measured.
Voltmeter, instrument that measures voltages of either direct or alternating electric current on a scale usually graduated in volts, millivolts (0.001 volt), or kilovolts (1,000 volts). ... The potentiometer operates by comparing the voltage to be measured with known voltage; it is used to measure very low voltages.
