What is the use of universal high resistance voltmeter?
A voltmeter must have a very high resistance to measure voltage. A voltmeter is placed in parallel with the element that you are measuring. If the voltmeter has a low internal resistance, then all of the current will flow through the voltmeter instead of the element. You want all of the current to flow through the element, to get an accurate reading of the voltage. Conversely, an ampmeter must have zero resistance, because it is placed in series with the element.
What will happen if a voltmeter has a low shunt resistance instead of having high shunt resistance?
The purpose of a voltmeter is to indicate the potential difference between two points in a circuit.When a voltmeter is connected across a circuit, it shunts the circuit. If the voltmeter has a low resistance,it will draw a substantial amount of current. This action lowers the effective resistance of the circuit andchanges the voltage reading.
The rules of connecting voltmeter and ammeters in the circuit?
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
What would happen if a voltmeter were substituted for an ammeter?
Smoke. Since a voltmeter is in parallel with the load it is right across the source voltage. Putting the amp meter across the line with its low resistance it will act like a fuse, hence the smoke. Newer solid state testers are usually smarter that the operators. They have built in circuitry which sense the wrong settings you are using and shut the tester off with a "beep" to let you know that you are doing something wrong.
Why is the resistance of volt meter very high?
So it doesn't effect the circuit being tested. If a low impediance or resistance meter were inserted in the circuit, voltages may drop and effect the accuracy of the test. Any voltmeter will use some power from the circuit to make a reading. A "high impediance voltmeter" will use very little power from the circuit so the voltage reading will be as accurate as it can be.
Which type digital voltmeter is the of fatest all digital voltmeter?
You mean fastest? Digital voltmeter gives reading in seconds.
What to do when voltmeter gives negative reading?
Cross the beams.
Will the rusting of nails in a sodium chloride - water solution effect the reading off a voltmeter or ammeter?
An ammeter or a voltmeter gives the reading of the flow of current, which is due to the movements of ions. When a rusted nail is immersed in the solution it will add the no of ions into the solution. This will increase the ion concentration and therefore will change the reading of a voltmeter and ammeter.
A multirange voltmeter which scale is numbered from 0 through to 250 the pointer falls mid range on the scale interpret the reading on the meter?
With the pointer mid range on the scale, the reading of the multi-range voltmeter would be 125 volts.With the pointer mid range on the scale, the reading of the multi-range voltmeter is 125 volts.
A 100 V voltmeter has full scale accuracy of 5 percent At its reading of 50 V it will give an error of?
A 100 V voltmeter has full-scale accuracy of 5%. At its reading of 50 V it will give an error of
Why does the total emf of dry cell in series not equal in the reading of voltmeter?
because in ckt connection there r done some ohmic loss due to the connecting wires and other factor , so voltmeter reading is not equal to its rated reading. and this also done due to different error like instrument error , measurement error etc...
Why potentiometer is more accurate than voltmeter?
volt meter draws current from the device whose reading is to be taken and potentiometer does not draw current from the device so it is better to use potentiometer than voltmeter

How do you use a volt meter to test the heater on a spa?
Turn on the voltmeter and attach a probe to different terminals on each component for a reading. What you do with the results is up to you if you are a heater tech. If you do not know how to use a voltmeter - you are already in trouble.
What is the function of a voltmeter in an electrical circuit?
To measure Voltage which is the force pushing current :)
