A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electrical potential difference between two points in an electric circuit.
congrats on reading the definition of Voltmeter. now let's actually learn it.
Potential Difference: This is the work done per unit charge. It's what the voltmeter measures.
Circuit: This is a closed path that allows electricity to flow from one point to another. It's where you'd use your voltmeter.
Ammeter: This is another type of meter used to measure current in a circuit. It's like the scale to your ruler (voltmeter).
