18. Voltmeter
    A voltmeter is an instrument for measuring electro-motive force, or pressure in volts. The early voltmeters of the mid-19th century were called voltameters, and worked by passing the current through a graduated tube nearly filled with a solution of sulphuric acid and water. The strength of the curre...

20. voltmeter
    Instrument for measuring the potential difference (voltage) between two points in a circuit. It should not be confused with an ammeter, which measures current. A voltmeter has a high internal resistance (so that it passes only a small current), and is connected in parallel with the component across ...
