Solution

The voltmeter is used for measuring the potential difference (or voltage) between any two points of a conductor or in any part of the circuit.
It is always connected in parallel because an ideal voltmeter has high resistance.
It is a high-resistance device.
It always measures the accurate voltage between two points.
