how which is right and which is wrong. You need a voltage standard with that you can calibrate both to the standard

What are the difference between a multimeter and a voltmeter?

A multimeter measures electrical properties such as AC or DC voltage, current, and resistance. Rather than have separate meters, a multimeter combines a voltmeter, an ammeter, and an ohmmeter. The two main kinds of a multimeter are analog and digital. A voltmeter measures the potential difference (voltage) between two points. the voltmeter only measures volts.


What can you use to check the voltage of a battery?

Voltmeter or multimeter.


Can a multimeter be used as substitute of ammeter and voltmeter why?

yes it can read both ac and dc voltage and current .AnswerThe whole point of a multimeter is that it can perform the function of an ammeter, a voltmeter, and an ohmmeter!


What do you need to calibrate a multimeter?

Technically, you don't. You need to calibrate a multimeter with something that is much more precise and accurate than a multimeter, such as a voltage, current, and resistance standard. Otherwise, it is not called a calibration.


Who would calibrate a multimeter?

An electrician, it is an electronic measuring instrument


Do you need to calibrate a multimeter?

measure the voltage,amphere resestance


How can you test a battery?

You can test a battery by using multimeter. Set the multimeter to the DC voltmeter setting and then place the leads of the multimeter across the leads of the battery. the multimeter will have a readout of the voltage.


What is the purpose of multimeter in a laboratory?

it can be used as a ammeter, voltmeter and also as a ohmmeter.


What instrument measures voltage?

Resistance is measured with an ohmmeter. A link is provided to a brief article on the ohmmeter posted at Wikipedia.Note that it is unusual in this day and age to have a device that will measure ohms and nothing else. The ohmmeter is usually included among the functions of a multimeter, and usually a digital multimeter or DMM.


What is the difference of volmeter and multimeter?

A voltmeter is a device used to measure voltage, while a multimeter is a versatile device that can measure voltage, current, and resistance, among other electrical properties. Essentially, a voltmeter is a specific function within a multimeter.


What intrusment measures voltage in a current?

A voltmeter. It's also one of the functions of a multimeter.


What is the advantage provided by multimeter?

A multimeter, also called a VOM, is an ohmmeter, ammeter, and voltmeter combined in one case. A function knob can be turned to select the type of measurement to be made, such as volts, amps, or ohms. The multimeter's test lead connections to the circuit will depend on whether you are using it as a voltmeter, an ammeter, or an ohmmeter.
