A potentiometer is a variable resistor, while a voltmeter is a device that measures voltage.
A voltmeter measures potential difference across a component, which may not necessarily be equal to the EMF of a cell due to internal resistance in the cell and voltage drops across other components in the circuit. To accurately measure the EMF of a cell, a potentiometer or a high-resistance voltmeter is used in conjunction with a null point method.
Copper wire is not used in potentiometers because copper is highly conductive and would not provide enough resistance for the potentiometer to function properly. Instead, materials with higher resistance, such as nichrome or a graphite-based material, are used to create the variable resistance needed in a potentiometer.
a voltmeter is used to measure voltage
No, a voltmeter measures voltage in a circuit but cannot increase it. It is a passive device that is simply used to read the voltage at a specific point in the circuit.
A ladder is typically considered as a piece of equipment rather than a tool, as it is used for access and support rather than manipulation or work.
A voltmeter is used to measure voltage. A potentiometer is used to vary the amount of resistance in a circuit - it has nothing to do with measuring.
An ammeter should not be used as a voltmeter. An ammeter is a low impedance device that measures the current going through a circuit, often by measuring the small voltage across a known resistance. A voltmeter is a high impedance device that measures the voltage across a circuit. If you were to connect an ammeter as if it were a voltmeter, you would effectively short out the circuit, drastically affecting its operation, and potentially damaging both the circuit and the ammeter.
you can, but you will not get accurate answer as voltmeter consumes some current. so, potentiometer is used instead to measure emf ---- the potentiometer must be set to the expected emf from the cell before you put the zero detector in circuit if its set too high it will charge the cell too low it will load the cell perhaps if you dont know the voltage of the cell before you measure it you should get a hi impedance voltmeter(electrometer) to set the potentiometer as close as you can manage before you connect the zero detector

A potentiometer is a variable resistor used in electronics.
A: The only calibration that a potentiometer is allow to do is on the resistance scale. The reason being is the internal battery looses capability with age so to compensate the pot. will change current available to make the ohmmeter to go to zero when the probes are shorted. To test a volts range then an accurate voltage must be used to verify calibration.
It is a potentiometer.
A meter bridge is used in some cases for precise resistance measurements. It can be more accurate than using a voltmeter and ammeter because it eliminates errors from contact resistance and internal resistance of the instruments. This method allows for more accurate determination of resistance by comparing two resistance values directly.
why is extention
A voltmeter is a measuring instrument that is used in the measurement of the electric potential in volts.
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.
