False. The instrument is called an oscilloscope. (Human Physiology, 11th Edition, Stuart Ira Fox. Chapter 7, pg 170, paragraph 5.)

Will the rusting of nails in a sodium chloride - water solution effect the reading off a voltmeter or ammeter?

An ammeter or a voltmeter gives the reading of the flow of current, which is due to the movements of ions. When a rusted nail is immersed in the solution it will add the no of ions into the solution. This will increase the ion concentration and therefore will change the reading of a voltmeter and ammeter.


How do scientists measure the standard reduction potential of a half cell?

Scientists typically use a standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) as a reference electrode to measure the standard reduction potential of a half-cell. The half-cell under study is connected to the SHE through a salt bridge, and the cell potential is measured using a voltmeter. By comparing the potential of the half-cell with that of the SHE at standard conditions (1 M concentration and 25 degrees Celsius), the standard reduction potential of the half-cell can be determined.


How you could determine the amount of energy stored in one potato chip?

I'm pretty sure there aren't any, but if you want to find out, you could get a voltmeter and connect both ends of the voltmeter to either side of the chip. Besides, what could you possible do with the amount of energy stored in a potato chip. If you're doing this for a science project, I would come up with a new idea if I were you. No offense.


Which meter creates an alternate path for the electrons to follow?

Both a voltmeter, and the internal guts of an ammeter, establish a parallel path around a component or a part of a circuit when they're connected to it for the purpose of making a measurement.


How can you produce current from salt water?

An electric current can be made simply by dipping two different metals into the salt water so that they are not touching each other. You can try this with a "copper" coin and a "silver" coin and measure a small voltage between them using a voltmeter, but you will get a better result by using a piece of pure copper and a piece of pure zinc which should give a voltage of about 1 volt.

The function and use of an ammeter and a 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


How do you measure electric potential?

A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure electric potential difference. The voltmeter have two electrodes, reference electrode and test electrode, the electrodes are put in two different places where you want to find the potential difference. For instance, if the test electrode is placed on the positive pole and the reference electrode on the negative pole of a 3V battery, the voltmeter would read '+3 volts'.

What measuring instrument is used to measure potential difference?

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