Product Information
Analogue Voltmeter
Measure electrical potential difference with a traditional pointer-type voltage measuring instrument. The Analogue Voltmeter is suitable for physics practicals, electrical circuit demonstrations and laboratory learning.
What Is an Analogue Voltmeter?
Understanding the purpose of a pointer-based voltage meter
Voltage Measurement in Electrical Circuits
An analogue voltmeter measures the potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit. Its moving pointer travels across a graduated scale to indicate the measured voltage. It is commonly used for teaching basic electrical measurement and circuit principles.
How Does a Voltmeter Work?
Basic principle of voltage measurement
Electrical Connection
A voltmeter is connected in parallel across the two points whose potential difference is to be measured.
Pointer Movement
The internal measuring mechanism responds to the applied voltage and moves the pointer over the scale.
Scale Reading
The user reads the indicated value from the graduated scale using the correct measuring range.
Electrical Measurement Formula
Potential difference and Ohm's Law
V = I × RVoltage = Current × Resistance
Where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.
A voltmeter is connected in parallel in a circuit. Always select the appropriate voltage range and AC/DC setting for the instrument. Never connect a voltmeter directly across a power source unless its rating and connection instructions permit it.Product Specifications
