measures amount of electricity used
It depends on what kind of meter you are talking about
one meter is on the side of your house witch measures how much eletricity you use.
another kind is a voltage meter witch can tell you how many volts, amps,watts,and ohms are being pumped through a eletrical wire.
AnswerWhat is colloquially known as an 'electric meter', or 'electricity meter', is correctly termed an energy meter. As the name implies, an energy meter is used to measure the amount of energy (not 'electricity', which is not a quantity!) purchased from the electricity supply company for the purpose of billing its customers. This energy is measured in units called kilowatt hours (kW.h) and, for this reason, energy meters are sometimes referred to as 'kilowatt hour meters' or 'watt hour meters'.

∙ 15y agoA DIGITAL electric meter when measuring voltage uses an analog to digital converter (ADC) to measure the input voltage and convert it to a digital representation. The numeric value is sent to a circuit that integrates the data and formats it for the display system where a human or other system can read the voltage indicated. This is a very simple explanation but it does get the point across.
