A Voltmeter is an electrical measuring instrument used to measure the potential difference (voltage) between two points in an electric circuit. It is a key component in physics, electronics, and electrical experiments, typically connected in parallel with the element under test.
Type: Analog moving coil or digital display type
Range: Common lab ranges include 0–1V, 0–5V, 0–10V, etc. (DC or AC)
Scale: Clearly marked graduated dial (in volts), center or edge-zero types
Sensitivity: High input impedance to prevent circuit loading
Terminals: Brass binding posts for secure wire connections
Mounting: On bakelite or wooden base for stability
Used to measure voltage across resistors, cells, and components
Essential in Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Law, and circuit verification experiments
Standard tool in CBSE/ICSE/State board labs, B.Sc., ITI, and engineering courses
Helps students understand voltage division, emf, and electrical energy concepts
