Which meter used to measure the batteery voltage?

A voltmeter.


What is the function of a voltmeter in an electrical circuit?

To measure Voltage which is the force pushing current :)


What measuring instrument is used to measure potential difference?

To Measure Voltage or potential difference you can use volt meter, there are diferent methode to measure DC voltage and AC Voltage.use a AVO meter and you can choose Voltage in each voltage range on the selector.a Volt meter instrument you can find it by manual methode and digital .Dont forget to read manual book before you will measure the voltage.Comment'Potential difference' is exactly the same thing as 'voltage'; they are synonymous.


What could be the tendencies for the voltmeter if the voltages to be measured exceed the range?

You'd potentially damage the meter. Whether you do or not is immaterial; if the meter cannot measure the range of voltages you are expecting, it will not give accurate readings over that voltage range, thus you should not use it. Buy a different meter that will measure over that voltage range, or use a voltage divider circuit to get a lower voltage at a certain ratio of what is actually in the circuit (this may be difficult to do, or very simple depending on the circuit tested - the key is you do not want to load the circuit with the voltage divider network).


How are voltmeter connected to circuit?

Usually a voltmeter is connected across the load whether or not it is AC (Alternating current) or DC (Direct Current). A voltmeter is never connected in series with the load as this may cause serious injury or damage. The meter will absorb the full potential .

What is the difference between milli volt meter and volt meter?

A milli voltmeter is suitable for measuring voltage/potential difference in milli volts, thus they measure smaller voltages. A regular voltmeter is used to measure comparatively larger voltages.

How would a meter be connected in a circuit too measure the voltage at a light bulb?

When connecting a volt meter to a light bulb to measure the voltage of the light bulb, run a third wire from where the wire enters the bulb to one terminal of the voltmeter and a fourth wire from the other side of the bulb to the other terminal of the voltmeter.

An ammeter and voltage range are measure the current and voltage electric lamp if mistake meter interchange what will happen?

1. Voltmeter has high impedance and hence will restrict the current severely.a) Electric Bulb will not glowb) The Ammeter will just measure the current that Voltmeter allows and since this current is much smaller than actual current nothing will happen to ammeter.c) The Voltmeter will measure the Voltage that is being applied.d) This will allow you to measure the resistance of the Voltmeter.VR=V/I
