What device is used to measure the resistance of a resistor?
You can use a multi-meter to measure resistance. The specific portion of the meter for measuring resistance is called an ohmmeter.
What could be the tendencies for the voltmeter if the voltages to be measured exceed the range?
You'd potentially damage the meter. Whether you do or not is immaterial; if the meter cannot measure the range of voltages you are expecting, it will not give accurate readings over that voltage range, thus you should not use it. Buy a different meter that will measure over that voltage range, or use a voltage divider circuit to get a lower voltage at a certain ratio of what is actually in the circuit (this may be difficult to do, or very simple depending on the circuit tested - the key is you do not want to load the circuit with the voltage divider network).
What measuring instrument is used to measure potential difference?
To Measure Voltage or potential difference you can use volt meter, there are diferent methode to measure DC voltage and AC Voltage.use a AVO meter and you can choose Voltage in each voltage range on the selector.a Volt meter instrument you can find it by manual methode and digital .Dont forget to read manual book before you will measure the voltage.Comment'Potential difference' is exactly the same thing as 'voltage'; they are synonymous.
Why the series resistor of the voltmeter is high?
Aim of any measuring instrument is to measure the object without affecting it. Voltmeter is used to measure voltage between two points and connected in parallel. Thus voltmeter should not change the voltage. If voltmeter resistance is very high, it will be as good as infinity compared to load. Thus connecting voltmeter will not change the voltage and measure it accurately.
Difference between ac and dc bridge?
DC Bridge... We use DC supply, Detector is also a DC current detector and we use only resistive components no need for wegner's earthing device balancing time is comparatively less.. where as in AC bridges opposite of above. i.e. AC supply, AC current detector resisitive+ reactive componants need for wagner's earthing device and balancing time is high as we use AC supply..
Why do you use a meter bridge for measurements rather than a voltmeter and ammeter?
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.
Voltmeter is used for?
A volt meter is use to measure the voltage of the circuit.
What is Use of jockey in meter bridge?
meh
What are two familiar mistakes when using an ohmmeter and a voltmeter?
Voltmeter connect in parallel with the circuit setting on voltmeter highest range first then to lower range. Ohmmeter we need to use the ohmmeter meter setting connect across the resistor
How do you use a volt meter to test the heater on a spa?
Turn on the voltmeter and attach a probe to different terminals on each component for a reading. What you do with the results is up to you if you are a heater tech. If you do not know how to use a voltmeter - you are already in trouble.

Why potentiometer is more accurate than voltmeter?
A potentiometer is able to measure very small changes in voltage by allowing the user to manually adjust the resistance until the desired voltage is reached. This control over the resistance provides a more precise and accurate measurement compared to a voltmeter, which simply displays the voltage at a fixed range without adjustment.
Would a photographer use a voltmeter?
Only if he was working on something electrical. Otherwise, he/she would be more inclined to use a light meter of some sort.
In physics what is the use of meter bridge?
A meter bridge is used to measure an unknown electrical resistance by comparing it with a known resistance. It works on the principle of Wheatstone bridge. By balancing the bridge circuit, the value of the unknown resistance can be calculated accurately.
Why is the resistance of volt meter very high?
So it doesn't effect the circuit being tested. If a low impediance or resistance meter were inserted in the circuit, voltages may drop and effect the accuracy of the test. Any voltmeter will use some power from the circuit to make a reading. A "high impediance voltmeter" will use very little power from the circuit so the voltage reading will be as accurate as it can be.
How do you measure inductance of a coil?
Type your answer here... By use an inductance meter or an inductance bridge
Can you measure power with a volt meter?
No. A voltmeter measures potential difference (voltage). To measure power, a wattmeter is required. On the other hand, for a d.c. circuit only, you could use a voltmeter and an ammeter, and multiply their readings in order to calculate the power of a load.
