To measure the value of a resistor, apply a voltage and measure the voltage across the resistor and the current through the resistor. Use Ohm's law: Resistance equals Voltage divided by Current. Start with a small voltage and increase gradually until a reading is obtained, but be careful that the power dissipation (watts = volts times amperes) of the resistor is not exceeded. Simpler solution: Use an ohmeter.
beacause ammeter is use to measure the current not to measure the voltage
To measure high voltage use suitable instrument transformer (potential transformer) Very carefully. It can kill you. The higher the voltage the more the danger or arcing over even when two conductors are not touching. Voltage meters are rated and the rating should not be exceeded. Depending on the voltage you will need the proper meter and a high voltage probe rated for the voltage you are measuring. If you don't know what you are doing, don't mess with high voltage. Leave to the pros.
Semiconductor resistance depends on temperature. So, you can use a shunt resistor to measure semiconductor voltage with a given current and, then, obtain temperature.
Use the highest available voltage setting. One should know the system voltage before attempting to measure, other wise it may lead to accidents.
use a metals further away from each other on the reactivity series (I think). but using more electrolytes (more fruits i.e. 4 lemons instead of 1 etc) will definitely give a higher voltage. the more fruit, the bigger the voltage. :D
A Voltmeter.
Believe it or not, THE VOLT.
you use a miltimeter and dissimilar metals
it is use to measure electric potential (voltage).
Just set to AC or DC volts and probe the two points you wish to measure voltage across.
it is use to measure electric potential (voltage).
A volt meter is use to measure the voltage of the circuit.
Use a voltmeter with a high input impedance and measure at the source the voltage.
To measure voltages and voltage drops
on most newer oscilloscopes there is a measure button that will allow you to pick peak voltage from the menu. If your o-scope doesn't have this measure button, you will have the use the knob that controls the horizontal cursor and just move it to the top of your wave. The peak voltage is the voltage from the 0 point of the wave to the top of the wave.
