A voltmeter and ammeter are to an electrical system what a pressure gauge and a flow gauge are to an oil pressure system: A voltmeter measures electrical pressure in volts; an ammeter measures ...

How Redline Gauge Works Makes Old Ford Tachs Work with Modern Ignitions and Turns Ammeters into Voltmeters—All Without Changing Their Original Appearance.

Note the reading in the ammeter I, for the current and reading of the voltmeter V for the potential difference across the nichrome wire XY in the circuit. Tabulate them in the Table given.

Back in the early days of electricity, lab workers could measure electric current in a circuit using an ammeter (galvanometer) and voltage using a voltmeter. From there, they could calculate ...

If you want to measure voltage you reach for a voltmeter. Current? An ammeter. Resistance? An ohmmeter. But what about measuring AC power? A watt meter? Usually. But if you know what to do, you cou… ...

The ammeter is great, and there is a connection for an external voltmeter that has some short-circuit protection. We might have opted for a second built-in voltmeter.
