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.

'Potential difference' is exactly the same thing as 'voltage'; they are synonymous.

What is the difference between range and span?

Range: The region between the limits within which a quantity is measured, received ortransmitted. It is expressed by stating the lower and upper range valuesSpan: The algebraic difference between the upper and lower range values expressed in the same units as the range


How do you connect and measure voltage using a voltmeter?

with a voltomiter


What instrument measures voltage in a current?

Resistance is the name given to something which opposes the flow of an electrical current in a circuit and an ohmmeter is used to measure it.The Ohm is the name of the unit used to measure resistance.Further noteThe most common type of instrument used to measure resistance is a multimeter, which includes an ohmmeter, an ammeter to measure the current flow in amps and a voltmeter to measure the potential difference in volts.


What is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?

It measures the current.


What instrument is used by technicians for measuring current voltage and resistance?

The instrument is called a multi-meter. Multi part meaning that the meter has distinct functions. One setting can measure voltage, another function can measure resistance and the third function can measure a limited amount of current.The reason the current is limited is because the meter has to be connected in series to the circuit that it is measuring. There will be a maximum rating on the instrument stating the maximum amount of current allowed. Many times this is a DC current and it is not to be used for measuring AC current.For higher current measurements a clamp on ammeter should be used.
