A voltmeter needs to be connected in parallel with the part of the circuit you are checking. It records a change in voltage, and has a high internal resistance, so it cannot be connected in series unless you want to screw up the circuit. Set the meter to AC or DC volts and place the wires of the terminal across the resistor, switch, or any other potentially resistive part of the circuit.

Concept of ac voltmeter?
Red wire from a regular DC voltmeter should be connected to :
How do you determine which wire is the 'feed' wire?
Check it with a voltmeter or with a voltage detector.
Symbols of the electric circuit?
there is a symbol of bulb,galvanometer,voltmeter,ammeter,gong,paperclip,switch,wire,solenoid,bulb and armature
What is the voltmeter reading this time?
positive terminal
What happens when a voltmeter is connected in series with load?
when we connected voltmeter in series it takes large current and voltage and the resistance is considerably decreases.this is why we had connected voltmeter in series combination.

How do you determine which wire is the 'feed' wire?
Check it with a voltmeter or with a voltage detector.
How does a potatoes electricity go to a voltmeter?
The wire leads of the meter.
Which voltmeter will used for measuring 50kv dc?
Any standard voltmeter but however the voltage to be measured must be stepped down to a safe value using a Potential transformer.
What methods would you use to test the resistance of a long and short wire?
By placing a voltmeter either side you can see how much electricity goes through the wire. This is because a voltmeter measures the difference in volts.
What is the purpose voltmeter?
The purpose of a voltmeter is to measure the number of volts contained in a wire. If the number of volts is too high then the wire can't hold in all of the volts and you get shocked. ================ Beautiful. A voltmeter is used to measure the potential difference between two points, usually but not always in an electronic circuit comprised of many components.
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.
Describe how a meter would 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.
What causes an error in reading a voltmeter?
It could be when the positive wire is plugged in the negative slot and the negative wire is plugged in the positive slot. This can make the readings negative.
Why ammeter connects in series and voltmeter in parallel in electric circuit?
Because the ammeter measures the current flowing THROUGH the wire, butthe voltmeter only measures the potential difference between two points.
What are 2 devices that can be used to detect 12 volts on any given wire or connection?
Voltmeter. PowerProbe. Testlight.
Symbols of the electric circuit?
there is a symbol of bulb,galvanometer,voltmeter,ammeter,gong,paperclip,switch,wire,solenoid,bulb and armature
