How does a pm unite compare to a meter?
pm is short for pico-meter, or 10-12 meter. That's a trillionth of a meter (using the short scale), or a billionth of a meter on the long scale.pm is short for pico-meter, or 10-12 meter.

What temperature will the reading on the Fahrenheit scale be double of the reading on the Celsius scale?
160 Celsius = 320 Fahrenheit
What is a centimeter scale used for and where is it used?
It is used to measure centimeters; a centimeter is a unit of length, equal to 1/100 of a meter. It is used all over the world.
What temperature on the Fahrenheit scale is half the reading on a Celsius scale?
12
What is the scale 1 centimeter to 1 meter as a fraction?
1 cm = 1/100 meter
What meter range to measure unknown voltage?
Always start with the highest scale, than work your way down until you get a midscale reading. If you start with a low scale, you will overrange the meter, which can damage it in severe cases (especially the older analog meter movements).

Why cannot a meter scale be used instead of a vernier calliper?
It can, but the vernier is capable of a more accurate reading.
A multirange voltmeter which scale is numbered from 0 through to 250 the pointer falls mid range on the scale interpret the reading on the meter?
With the pointer mid range on the scale, the reading of the multi-range voltmeter would be 125 volts.With the pointer mid range on the scale, the reading of the multi-range voltmeter is 125 volts.
How do you measure a resistor using multimeter?
a multimeter probably has a Ohm meter as well. If yes, use it and make sure you have the correct scale adjusted. If there is no Ohm meter you should calculate the resistance using Ohms Law. So if you use your multimeter as an Amp meter (in series with the unknown resistor) and you apply a know voltage across you should be able to calculate the resistance by dividing the voltage you applied by the current you meassured (R=v/I) ANSWER: 1 make sure ther is no external power connected 2 short the leads together and adjust for zero reading on the meter. This step is necessary to eliminate the internal battery drifting with time. Unlike voltage and amps reading the scaling of the meter is not important to begin with since a peg meter or a overflow will not destroy the meter immediately but do change the scale to get maximum deflection or digital display.That it
How does a digital multimeter eliminate parallax error?
When reading the needle on an analog meter, you can get a slightly different reading depending on the position of your eye relative to the needle and the scale behind the needle. This is parallax. The digital meter reads the exact value measured (to the accuracy of the meter), and then displays it in the form of "numbers" or "digits" so your eye is not interpreting the value from a scale.
Construct a forward reading vernier scale to read distance up to a Decca meter with representative factor 140000 and long enough to measure 6 km Mark 3.37 km and 5.75 m?
this sounds like homework?
To measure the voltage in a standard household electrical socket an electrician would you what settting on a volt meter?
Depending upon the voltmeter, the 300 volt range would typically be the most correct to give you a mid-scale reading of 120volts.
What is the scale used to define sound intensities?
Take a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter). Try to measure the sound pressure p in pascals or in decibels, referred to the threshold of hearing with 20 micropascals.
