A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. It is connected in parallel. It usually has a high resistance so that it takes negligible current from the circuit.

Analog voltmeters move a pointer across a scale in proportion to the voltage measured and can be built from a galvanometer and series resistor. Meters using amplifiers can measure tiny voltages of microvolts or less. Digital voltmeters give a numerical display of voltage by use of an analog-to-digital converter.

Voltmeters are made in a wide range of styles, some separately powered (e.g. by battery), and others powered by the measured voltage source itself. Instruments permanently mounted in a panel are used to monitor generators or other fixed apparatus. Portable instruments, usually equipped to also measure current and resistance in the form of a multimeter, are standard test instruments used in electrical and electronics work. Any measurement that can be converted to a voltage can be displayed on a meter that is suitably calibrated; for example, pressure, temperature, flow or level in a chemical process plant.

General-purpose analog voltmeters may have an accuracy of a few percent of full scale and are used with voltages from a fraction of a volt to several thousand volts. Digital meters can be made with high accuracy, typically better than 1%. Specially calibrated test instruments have higher accuracies, with laboratory instruments capable of measuring to accuracies of a few parts per million. Part of the problem of making an accurate voltmeter is that of calibration to check its accuracy. In laboratories, the Weston cell is used as a standard voltage for precision work. Precision voltage references are available based on electronic circuits.

A moving coil galvanometer can be used as a voltmeter by inserting a resistor in series with the instrument. The galvanometer has a coil of fine wire suspended in a strong magnetic field. When an electric current is applied, the interaction of the magnetic field of the coil and of the stationary magnet creates a torque, tending to make the coil rotate. The torque is proportional to the current through the coil. The coil rotates, compressing a spring that opposes the rotation. The deflection of the coil is thus proportional to the current, which in turn is proportional to the applied voltage, which is indicated by a pointer on a scale.

Voltmeters operating on the electrostatic principle use the mutual repulsion between two charged plates to deflect a pointer attached to a spring. Meters of this type draw negligible current but are sensitive to voltages over about 100 volts and work with either alternating or direct current.

The sensitivity and input resistance of a voltmeter can be increased if the current required to deflect the meter pointer is supplied by an amplifier and power supply instead of by the circuit under test. The electronic amplifier between input and meter gives two benefits; a rugged moving coil instrument can be used, since its sensitivity need not be high, and the input resistance can be made high, reducing the current drawn from the circuit under test. Amplified voltmeters often have an input resistance of 1, 10, or 20 megohms which is independent of the range selected. A once-popular form of this instrument used a vacuum tube in the amplifier circuit and so was called the vacuum tube voltmeter (VTVM). These were almost always powered by the local AC line current and so were not particularly portable. Today these circuits use a solid-state amplifier using field-effect transistors, hence FET-VM, and appear in handheld digital multimeters as well as in bench and laboratory instruments. These largely replaced non-amplified multimeters except in the least expensive price ranges.

Most VTVMs and FET-VMs handle DC voltage, AC voltage, and resistance measurements; modern FET-VMs add current measurements and often other functions as well. A specialized form of the VTVM or FET-VM is the AC voltmeter. These instruments are optimized for measuring AC voltage. They have much wider bandwidth and better sensitivity than a typical multifunction device.

A digital voltmeter (DVM) measures an unknown input voltage by converting the voltage to a digital value and then displays the voltage in numeric form. DVMs are usually designed around a special type of analog-to-digital converter called an integrating converter.

Simple AC voltmeters use a rectifier connected to a DC measurement circuit, which responds to the average value of the waveform. The meter can be calibrated to display the root mean square value of the waveform, assuming a fixed relation between the average value of the rectified waveform and the RMS value. If the waveform departs significantly from the sinewave assumed in the calibration, the meter will be inaccurate, though for simple wave shapes the reading can be corrected by multiplying by a constant factor. Early "true RMS" circuits used a thermal converter that responded only to the RMS value of the waveform. Modern instruments calculate the RMS value by electronically calculating the square of the input value, taking the average, and then calculating the square root of the value. This allows accurate RMS measurements for a variety of waveforms. .

For example, an analog voltmeter with a ±3% accuracy is set to the 0 to 100-V range. Based on this accuracy, its pointer can be 3 volts (100 V x 0.03 = 3 V) below or above the true reading. If the true measured value is, for example, 90.0 V, the meter might read between 87 V and 93 V or ± 3.3% of reading. However, 10.0 volts measured on a 100-V scale of the same voltmeter can read between 7 V and 13 V, or ± 30% of the actual reading, while the meter is technically within specifications. So, to maintain reasonable accuracy, select the analog meter range that places the pointer between 2/3 of full scale and full scale.

The larger number of counts should translate into higher resolution, and usually DMMs with a higher resolution have higher accuracy. However, DMM accuracy also depends on other design factors, such as ADC accuracy, component tolerances, noise level, and the stability of internal references. So, do not automatically assume that a 4½-digit meter is 10 times more accurate than a 3½-digit meter. In addition, since DMMs have automatic polarity detection, they display negative values equal in range to the positive values. That is, the display of a 3½-digit DMM can show any number from -1999 to 0 and from 0 to 1999.

Do not use the meter when the ambient temperature is higher or lower than the specified operating temperature range. In addition to the operating temperature specifications of electronic components inside the meter, LCD displays are notorious for becoming sluggish and eventually going blank at subfreezing temperatures. At high temperatures, LCDs display ghost images of the segments that are turned off, and they eventually darken.

Some multimeters are "auto-ranging," whereas others require you to manually select the range for your measurement. If you need to manually select the range, you should always pick a value that is slightly higher than the value you expect to measure. Think about it like using a ruler and a yardstick. If you need to measure something that is 18 inches long, a 12-inch ruler will be too short; you need to use the yardstick. The same applies to using a multimeter. Say you are going to measure the voltage of a AA battery, which you expect to be 1.5V. The multimeter on the left in Figure 3 has options for 200mV, 2V, 20V, 200V, and 600V (for direct current). 200mV is too small, so you would pick the next highest value that works: 2V. All of the other options are unnecessarily large, and would result in a loss in accuracy (it would be like using a 50-foot tape measure that only has markings every foot, and no inch markings; it isn"t as accurate as using a yardstick with 1-inch markings).

Plug your red and black probes into the appropriate sockets (also referred to as "ports") on the multimeter. For most multimeters, the black probe should be plugged into the socket labeled "COM." There might be multiple sockets for measuring current, with labels like "10A" and "mA". Note:It is always safer to start out with the socket that can measure a larger current. Plug the red socket into the high-current port.

Resistance: If you are measuring an object with a known resistance, you can use that value to choose the appropriate resistance setting. As with current and voltage, you need to pick the next largest resistance value on your scale. For example, to measure a 4.7kΩ resistor, you would select 20kΩ. If you are measuring an object with unknown resistance, you will just have to guess, but it is difficult to damage your multimeter or the object you are testing when measuring resistance, so this is not a big problem.
