A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure electric potential difference. The voltmeter have two electrodes, reference electrode and test electrode, the electrodes are put in two different places where you want to find the potential difference. For instance, if the test electrode is placed on the positive pole and the reference electrode on the negative pole of a 3V battery, the voltmeter would read '+3 volts'.

Is a electric potential scalar or vector?
Electric potential is a scalar.
How can you measure electric potential and electric current?
Potential . . .Always measured as a potential difference between two points.The most practical way to do that is with a voltemeter connectedin parallel with any circuit between the two points.Electric current . . .The most practical way to measure current is with an ammeter connectedin series in the path of the current.
What is the difference between electrical potential energy and potential difference?
Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit coulomb. So unit for electric potential is J/C and that of electric potential energy is simply J
Uses of voltmeter?
A voltmeter is used to measure the difference in electric potential ("voltage") between two points, usually but not necessarily in an electrical circuit..
