An ampermeter.


-- voltmeter

-- ammeter

-- ohmmeter

-- wattmeter

-- frequency counter
We can't "measure electricity" unless we figure out what we are measuring. The difference of electrical potential is measured in units called volts, and a voltmeter is used to do that. The amount of electrical current flow is measured in units called amps (amperes), and an ammeter is used to for that purpose. A multimeter combines the functions of these two meters, and will most often include some other features to measure some other electrical characteristics. An example of another measuring function of a multimeter might be its use as an ohmmeter for measuring electrical resistance.

What is the purpose of the elometer and how does it measure the level of electricity in a circuit?

The purpose of an elometer is to measure the level of electricity in a circuit. It does this by using a sensor to detect the flow of electric current through the circuit and then displaying the measurement on a screen or dial.


What are the 3 ways to measure electricity in circuit?

The three ways to measure electricity in a circuit are voltage, current, and resistance. Voltage is the measure of electrical potential difference between two points, current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit, and resistance is the opposition to the flow of current.
