Voltmeters are connected in parallel with the components whose voltage or voltage drop you want to measure. That means that the internal voltmeter's resistance will create a new branch in parallel with the component, thus increasing the current in the circuit.
If there are other components in series with the component to which the voltmeter is connected, this increment of current will increase the voltage drop across them, reducing the voltage drop across the component whose voltage is being measured. This is obviously an induced error in the measurement, which adds up to other errors built into the voltmeter (accuracy, resolution, linearity, parallax, etc.)
When measuring the output voltage of low resistance (high current) power supplies, the input impedance is usually not an issue. However, when measuring a low current power supply, the input resistance of the voltmeter will have to be at least 10 times the internal resistance of the power supply. Otherwise, the error will be too noticeable.
Therefore, the ideal voltmeter should have an infinite internal resistance. Since this is not the case, it should at least have several megohms.
Analog voltmeters usually have s sensitivity of 20 to 30 kilohm per volt (kΩ/V), which varies withe the voltmeter range setting.
Digital voltmeters, instead, have constant high (>20 megohms) input impedance, which is a combination of pure resistance and reactance, usually capacitive, regardless of the voltage range. That is why the specs of a digital voltmeter always indicate the input capacitance.

What is voltmeter?
A voltmeter is a measuring instrument that is used in the measurement of the electric potential in volts.
What is voltmeter with a broad band width has noise and sensitivity?

What is the least count of a voltmeter?
The least count of a voltmeter is the smallest measurable change in voltage that the device can detect. It is determined by the resolution of the display and the sensitivity of the measuring components. It is important for accurate voltage measurement.

How you can minimize the loading effect on voltmeter?
To minimize the loading effect on a voltmeter, use a voltmeter with a high input impedance. This will ensure that the voltmeter draws as little current as possible from the circuit being measured, reducing the impact on the voltage being measured. Additionally, connecting the voltmeter in parallel with the circuit, rather than in series, can also help minimize the loading effect.
What is a sensitivity of the voltmeter?
It depends on your definition of sensitivity. Sensitivity might mean how low a reading the voltmeter can accurately indicate, or it might mean how high the impedance the voltmeter presents to the circuit. An old Triplett 310 I have can resolve 50 mV +/- 3% at an impedance of 60 KOhms on a DC scale, which by today's standards is not very good, but by standards of 40 years ago was nearly state-of-the-art. A more modern digital meter I have, a Radio Shack DVM, can resolve 0.1 mV +/- 1% at an impedance of 11 MOhms, which is actually only middle-of-the-road today, but still very usable in many applications.
Difference between galvanometer and voltmeter?
A galvanometer is a sensitive current measuring device that primarily indicates the presence and direction of current, while a voltmeter measures voltage in a circuit. Galvanometers typically have lower resistance and higher sensitivity than voltmeters, which are designed to measure voltage across a component or circuit.
Voltmeter in series?
No. Voltmeter in parallel. Ammeter in series.
What is a dc voltmeter?
It is a voltmeter which can only measure direct current.
What does a voltmeter measure voltage in?
A voltmeter measures voltage in volts.
Which type digital voltmeter is the of fatest all digital voltmeter?
You mean fastest? Digital voltmeter gives reading in seconds.
