∙ 15y agoCurrent and voltage readings taken on the far right of a meter's scale provide greater inaccuracy that readings taken from mid scale on the meter.
The Voltmeter is used to measure the electrical potential difference between two points... so it's no use to connect it in Series , because the electrical potential difference between two points at the same line is zero ==> the readings will always be zero. The Ammeter is used to measure the electric current in a circuit... so it's no use to connect it in Parallel , because you want to know the current flowing in this wire. note the internal Resistance of the Ammeter is very little and very high for the Voltmeter --> so they will not affect the circuit.
You'd potentially damage the meter. Whether you do or not is immaterial; if the meter cannot measure the range of voltages you are expecting, it will not give accurate readings over that voltage range, thus you should not use it. Buy a different meter that will measure over that voltage range, or use a voltage divider circuit to get a lower voltage at a certain ratio of what is actually in the circuit (this may be difficult to do, or very simple depending on the circuit tested - the key is you do not want to load the circuit with the voltage divider network).
If all the readings are stored in an array, then the question becomes how to determine the maximum and minimum values in the array. This can be achieved with the following function: double min(double a[], const size_t size) { double min=a[0]; for( size_t i=1; i<size; ++i ) if(a[i]<min) min=a[i]; return(min); } double max(double a[], const size_t size) { double max=a[0]; for( size_t i=1; i<size; ++i ) if(a[i]<max) max=a[i]; return(max); } Note that when taking temperature readings, you will probably take several samples per day, possibly as often as once every second to obtain a high degree of accuracy. If so, your array will have 31.5 million elements each year.
to obtain more accurate readings
The error percentage in calibration of a voltmeter refers to the difference between the measured value and the true value of voltage, expressed as a percentage of the true value. It indicates the accuracy of the voltmeter's readings. Lower error percentages indicate higher calibration accuracy.
No, readings on a digital voltmeter are scalar quantities. Voltage, which is what a voltmeter measures, is a scalar quantity representing the potential difference between two points in a circuit. It has magnitude but no specific direction, making it a scalar.
No. A voltmeter measures potential difference (voltage). To measure power, a wattmeter is required. On the other hand, for a d.c. circuit only, you could use a voltmeter and an ammeter, and multiply their readings in order to calculate the power of a load.
Errors in reading a voltmeter can be caused by factors such as poor connection of the voltmeter probes to the circuit, incorrect range selection on the voltmeter, and external electromagnetic interference affecting the measurement. Additionally, using a voltmeter with low battery or a faulty internal circuit can also lead to erroneous readings.

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

Current and voltage readings taken on the far right of a meter's scale provide greater inaccuracy that readings taken from mid scale on the meter.
Add all the speed readings you have, e.g. from every second over a minute. Then you divide the answer by the number of readings you have.
Yes.
Yes, the rusting of nails in a sodium chloride-water solution can affect the reading on a voltmeter or ammeter. Rusting involves the flow of electrons, which can impact electrical conductivity, potentially altering the readings on the voltmeter or ammeter.
There are several ways of doing this, but it depends on what information you have to start with. One way is to find the impedance, using a voltmeter and an ammeter (impedance will be the product of the two readings), and the resistance using an ohmmeter (or, better still, a Wheatstone Bridge) and, then, use the equation:cos (phase angle) = resistance / impedance
