Solution
Voltmeter:
A voltmeter is used to measure the difference in electric potential between two points.
Voltmeters have high resistance and are connected in parallel to the electrical component whose potential difference is being measured.
A voltmeter, also known as a voltage meter, is a device that measures the potential difference, or voltage, between two points in an electrical or electronic circuit.
Some voltmeters are designed for direct current (DC) circuits, while others are for alternating current (AC) circuits.
