Depends on the kind of meter.
Voltmeter measure the volt,
Ammeter measure the amperage, the amount of electricity has been used.
Another Answer
There are lots of different type of meter, the most common being:
It measures resistance in a component or circuit to determine if there is a break in that circuit or component. If there's no resistance, it means there's a break, as no electrical current is passing through.
A voltmeter measures the potential difference between two points,whether or not the two points are in the same circuit.
ammeter
It measures the current.
The purpose of an ammeter is to sense and display the magnitude of the current flowing through it. When connected in series with a branch of an electrical circuit, the meter displays the magnitude (and direction) of the current in that path ... which you can't otherwise tell just by looking at the circuit.
Resistance
An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing in a circuit
With a meter that measures Ohms.
Amperes of electrical current.
water meter measures the water pressure ,meanwhile an ammeter measures thr current of the circuit

Yes, the neutral wire typically goes through the meter. In an electrical system, the meter measures the flow of electricity, including both the live (hot) and neutral wires. The neutral wire carries current back to the electrical panel, completing the circuit and allowing the meter to accurately measure the total energy consumption.
A wattmeter measures the amount of electrical power in watts being consumed by a device or circuit. It typically consists of a current and voltage measurement component to calculate the power in watts.
To check the amperage of an electrical circuit, you can use a clamp meter. Simply clamp the meter around one of the wires in the circuit to measure the current flowing through it. Make sure to set the meter to the appropriate amperage range before taking the reading.
ammeter
An ammeter measures the electrical current in something. A digital one is calibrated to display through the shunt and convert information from the analog model.
