Difference between voltmeter and ammeter

 

Voltmeter Vs Ammeter

Question: Distinguish between voltmeter and ammeter

OR

   Give the differences between voltmeter and ammeter

Sr No.	VOLTMETER	AMMETER
1	It is used to measure voltage	It is used to measure current
2	It is connected in parallel	It is connected in series
3	It is a MCG with infinite/very high resistance	It is a MCG with zero/low resistance
4	Larger its resistance , greater will be the potential difference measured.	Smaller the shunt, greater will be the current measured.
5	Resistance of voltmeter is Rv = G+ X        = G.nV	Resistance of ammeter is      RA= S.G/S+G          = G/n
