text: Voltmeters and ammeters are used to measure voltage and current, respectively.
text: But while a voltmeter is in fact a current measurer, it is so graduated and so used that it gives in its readings the difference of potential existing between two places on a circuit, and while measuring the current passing through its own coils, it is by calibration made to give not the current intensity, but the electro-motive force producing such current.
text: It works because it is a high-resistance ammeter that is actually measuring the amount of current that goes through it despite resistance.
text: Voltmeters and ammeters measure the voltage and current, respectively, of a circuit.
text: The use of a shunt resistor along with a voltmeter to measure current can be a useful trick for simplifying the task of frequent current measurements in a circuit.
