You pretty much need a voltmeter. I don't know any other way.
You first turn the meter on if it needs it, switch it to a range that you know to be
greater than the source voltage you expect to measure, and finlly, touch the two
probes of the meter to the two terminals of the battery or power supply that's
powering the circuit. Depending on the meter you're using, you may need to
reverse the probes, and you may need to switch the range down, one click at a
time, until you get a nice reading in the middle of the meter that's easy to read.
It's plausible that you'll measure two different voltages, depending on whether
or not the circuit is switched on at the time. Considering that you're asking how
to measure it in the first place, that wrinkle is definitely beyond the scope of this
discussion.

What are voltage controlled voltage source?
when the magnitude of voltage of a source is controlled by another small voltage source in the circuit the former is called voltage controlled voltage source and the later is called controller voltage source.
What does the conductor in a circuit do?
A conductor carries the voltage potential from the source to the load, i.e. the wires from a circuit breaker to a light.
What is voltage drop calculation?
There must be current flow through the circuit to measure any voltage
How does clipping circuits work in lab?
A clipping circuit works by the switching action of a diode when it is used in a circuit with a source voltage that changes polarity. In the forward direction, the diode's voltage is added to any dc value that is in series with it. If the source voltage is greater than the dc value at a particular instance, the diode will limit the output to the dc value. Otherwise the output voltage will equal the input voltage.
What is the energy source that pushes electrons around a circuit?
current i think just ask you bro
How will you convert a open current circuit to a open voltage circuit?
The first thing you need to know is the internal resistance of the current source, the voltage source will have the same internal resistance. Then compute the open circuit voltage of the current source, this will be the voltage of the voltage source. You are now done.
What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a circuit?
The voltage source is the source of the electricity. The conductor is what the electricity flows through to reach its destination. Example: A battery is a voltage source and an electrical wire is the conductor.
How do you measure the voltage in a circuit?
by voltmeter
How do you change current into voltage?
Compute the open load voltage of the current source across its shunt resistance.This voltage becomes the voltage source's voltage.Move the current source's shunt resistance to the voltage source's series resistance.Insert the new voltage source into the original circuit in place of the current source.
What are 2 sources for a circuit?
voltage source and current source
Can you use more than one source of voltage in a circuit?
Yes, you can use more than one source of voltage in a circuit. You can also use more than one source of current in a circuit. In fact, complex circuit analysis can utilize Norton and Thevanin equivalents to convert part of the circuit from current source to voltage source and vice versa, allowing you to eventually understand the complete circuit.
What does a voltage source provide a circuit with?
powerAnswerVoltage.
What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a battery circuit?
The battery is the voltage or power source, the wires form the conductor.
What do you mean by voltage buffer?
A voltage buffer is a circuit that will buffer a source from an output.
What is the purpose of a voltmeter in a circuit?
the purpose of a voltmeter is used to measure voltage in a circuit
What do you use to measure voltage in an electronic circuit?
A Voltmeter.
What benefit is there for getting higher open circuit voltage?
There is no particular benefit for having a higher open-circuit (or 'no-load') voltage. In fact, an ideal voltage source would have no internal resistance and, therefore, its open-circuit voltage would be identical to its closed-circuit voltage.
