voltmeter


is: a device for measuring voltage difference.   [P4.1]

is connected: to the two points between which the potential difference. is to be measured, and therefore is in parallel with one or more circuit components.   [P4.1]

ideally has: a very high resistance, so that it does not affect the circuit to which it is connected.   [P4.1]
