To test the charging system output under high-current draw conditions, you should measure the voltage at the battery terminals while the engine is running and accessories are activated (such as headlights, air conditioning, and radio). This test reflects the voltage output of the alternator under load, ensuring that it can maintain adequate voltage when the system is under strain. A healthy charging system should typically show a voltage between 13.5 to 14.5 volts in this scenario.
To measure Voltage which is the force pushing current :)
One does NOT insert a voltmeter in a series cirtcuit...an ammeter can be inserted in series, though. A voltmeter is connected in parallel with the source voltage and low(ground) side.
The voltmeter is connected parallel to the circuit in order to measure the voltage drop across that circuit or sub-circuit. If you were to connect the volmeter series to the circuit, since it is a high impedance device, it would represent an effective open-circuit condition. You would see the voltage available to the circuit, but the circuit would not receive its intended current and it would not function. Contrast this with the ammeter, which you do place series to the circuit in order to measure the current flow through the circuit.
voltmeter
Voltmeters must be connected in parallel with the component or section of the circuit where the voltage is to be measured. This parallel connection allows the voltmeter to measure the potential difference across the component without significantly affecting the circuit's operation. It is important to ensure that the voltmeter has a high internal resistance to minimize the current flowing through it and avoid altering the circuit behavior.
A voltmeter is connected in parallel in an electrical circuit.
Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
A voltmeter is a device to measure the voltage in a electric circuit, and must have be connected in parallel to it.
the purpose of a voltmeter is used to measure voltage in a circuit

To measure voltage in a parallel circuit, connect the voltmeter's probes across the component for which you want to measure the voltage. Ensure the positive probe of the voltmeter is connected to the positive side of the component and the negative probe to the negative side. The voltmeter will then display the voltage across that component.
To measure voltage in a circuit, the voltmeter should be connected in parallel across the component or portion of the circuit where the voltage is to be measured. Ensure the voltmeter is set to the appropriate voltage range before making the connection. It is important to place the voltmeter correctly to obtain an accurate voltage reading without affecting the circuit's operation.
A voltmeter is connected in parallel in an electrical circuit to measure the voltage across a specific component or part of the circuit without affecting the flow of current through the circuit.
In parallell.
A voltmeter can be connected in parallel with each component in a parallel circuit to measure the voltage across that specific component. By connecting the voltmeter in parallel, it allows the voltmeter to measure the voltage drop across the component without affecting the overall circuit.
The cranking circuit, yes, but not the charging circuit.. the charging circuit is simply your alternator and related items and your belts.
yes, voltmeter drops to zero as current increases to maximum
