How to Evaluate Voltmeter Resistance?

Voltmeter Resistance evaluator uses Voltmeter Resistance = (Voltmeter Range-Current Magnitude*Resistance)/Current Magnitude to evaluate the Voltmeter Resistance, The Voltmeter Resistance formula is defined as internal resistance of voltmeter.Ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance so no current will flow. This is why voltmeters are placed in parallel to the circuit, not in series. Ammeter is placed in series however and has low resistance. Voltmeter Resistance is denoted by Rv symbol.

How to evaluate Voltmeter Resistance using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Voltmeter Resistance, enter Voltmeter Range (Vr), Current Magnitude (I) & Resistance (R) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Voltmeter Resistance

What is the formula to find Voltmeter Resistance?
The formula of Voltmeter Resistance is expressed as Voltmeter Resistance = (Voltmeter Range-Current Magnitude*Resistance)/Current Magnitude. Here is an example- 12.16865 = (19.32-2.96*2.23)/2.96.
How to calculate Voltmeter Resistance?
With Voltmeter Range (Vr), Current Magnitude (I) & Resistance (R) we can find Voltmeter Resistance using the formula - Voltmeter Resistance = (Voltmeter Range-Current Magnitude*Resistance)/Current Magnitude.
Can the Voltmeter Resistance be negative?
No, the Voltmeter Resistance, measured in Electric Resistance cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Voltmeter Resistance?
Voltmeter Resistance is usually measured using the Ohm[Ω] for Electric Resistance. Megohm[Ω], Microhm[Ω], Volt per Ampere[Ω] are the few other units in which Voltmeter Resistance can be measured.
