An inline volt meter is designed to have the voltage pass through it. The wire has to be cut or otherwise disconnected, and the meter installed between the disconnected ends of the wiring.
A voltage meter is connected in parallel with the circuit.
It will prevent almost all current from flowing the circuit, since a voltmeter has a very high electrical resistance. Only ammeters (or milliammeters) should be wired in series between a power source and its load.
No
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 .
Ammeters are connected in series with the load under test. This requires the load be disconnected from the source, and the ammeter placed in circuit. Voltmeters are connected in parallel with the load under test. This does not require any circuit changes. Sorry, but WikiAnswers does not support illustrations.
Since voltage is electrical potential difference, to measure the voltage across a component, you place the voltmeter across, or in parallel with, the component.

No
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.
Because that is what you are trying to measure.
A stop switch is wired in series with the power supply and the load.

It's measured with an AC voltmeter.

A: ACTUALLY they are both the same just the application makes one or the other. Their function is to measure potential difference on a load or circuitry
1st you start up the car. Hook up a voltmeter to the battery, and put a load on the battery as the car is running (have the lights on, radio on, high beam on,...) after you put a load on the battery read the voltmeter. if it goes below 12 the alternator is bad. It souldn't be no more than 14 volts. you can also use the battery gauge but to be 100% sure hook voltmeter to the alternator.
Loading refers to the phenomena that occurs when a load circuit having low effective impedance is connected to a supply circuit having higher effective impedance.
