PHY 102 Test Compilation PHY 102 11 Objective Question

Question

_________ is used for measuring potential difference.
Options
A Potentiometer
B Ammeter
C Voltmeter
Correct Answer
D Galvanometer
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

An Ammeter is used to measure electric current. A Voltmeter is specifically designed to measure potential difference (voltage) across two points in a circuit. A Potentiometer can also measure potential difference, often with higher precision and without drawing current, but 'voltmeter' is the most direct and common answer for general measurement. A Galvanometer detects small currents.

Hint

Which device is always connected in parallel to measure voltage?
