Question:
The instrument to measure potential difference is
The instrument to measure potential difference is
Show Hint
To measure potential difference, always use a voltmeter, and connect it in parallel across the two points where the voltage is to be measured.
Updated On: Apr 17, 2025
- Ammeter
- Voltmeter
- Galvanometer
- Wattmeter
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure the potential difference (voltage) across two points in a circuit. An ammeter measures current, a galvanometer detects current but is sensitive to small values, and a wattmeter measures power. Thus, the correct answer is a voltmeter.
