Use a multimeter that has both scales on it . All you need to do is change the scale from AC to DC

Which type digital voltmeter is the of fatest all digital voltmeter?

You mean fastest? Digital voltmeter gives reading in seconds.


Does a Digital Voltmeter have a high or low input impedance?

Digital voltmeter has high input impedence.


Would you connect a voltmeter in series or parallel with bulb to measure voltage across it?

To measure the voltage across a bulb, you would connect a voltmeter in parallel with the bulb. This configuration allows the voltmeter to measure the potential difference across the bulb without significantly altering the circuit's operation. Connecting it in series would prevent the proper function of the circuit and could potentially damage the voltmeter.


Which will normally have the larger resistance a voltmeter or an ammeter?

A voltmeter has the large resistance.The voltage across any component can be measured if & only if the terminals of that component will be open and this will we can acheiv if we connect the high resistance voltmeter across the open terminals of that component to measure the voltage.


A bulb is connected to a battery having a potential difference of 6 V A voltmeter is connected across the bulb What is the reading on the voltmeter when the bulb burns out?

Assuming you're referring to a simple incandescent bulb . . .When the bulb burns out, the filament is open, and it is electrically no longer there.The voltmeter is then across the battery, which is open circuited, i.e. without a load.The meter measures the open-circuit voltage of the battery, nominally 6 V.

What does a digital voltmeter do?

A voltmeter works by measuring the amount of volts of electricity being given by an electrical line or battery. A digital voltmeter has an easier to read display and is also more accurate.

What happens if you accidentally connect the positive lead of a voltmeter to the negative terminal of a 1.5 volt battery and the negative lead to the positive terminal?

Voltmeter will give you opposite readings or will not work at all.


Why connect positive end of battery with positive end of voltmeter?

The leads of the voltmeter are labeled that way to get a positive readout when you connect the positive lead to the positive terminal of the battery (and negative to negative). Digital Voltmeters will read negative voltage if connected backwards. Voltmeters with a needle, would have the current flowing in such a way that the needle would try to deflect 'below zero' because the needle windings are designed for the current to flow in one direction, to cause positive deflection of the needle.


How do you test your alternator with volt meter?

There are a number of ways to test an alternator, 1,Set your voltmeter to DC most preferable set the meter to 20volts.2,with the engine running, disconnect one of the battery terminals from the battery head. 2,connect the voltmeter to the battery terminal wires and take your reading.

How do you check battery state of charge with voltmeter?

You must have a digital volt meter. With the ignition switch turned off, set the digital voltmeter to 20 volts DC. Put red probe on positive battery post and black probe on negative post. A 100% fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts. 75% charged will read 12.4 volts. 50% charged will read 12.2 volts. 25% charged will read 12.0 volts.
