voltmeters

Electrical potential measurers

Voltmeters is the plural of voltmeter, an instrument that measures electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit.

The reading appears in volts.

Voltmeters connect in parallel with the component being measured, unlike ammeters which measure current in series: The technician checked the battery with one of the shop's voltmeters.
