2. A process of taking or giving vitamins.
2. A tool that measures electrical voltage; for example, the potential difference between two points.
3. A device; such as, a galvanometer, that measures in volts the differences in potential between different points of an electrical circuit.
3. A device that measures voltages of either direct or alternating electric current on a scale usually graduated in volts; such as, millivolts or kilovolts.
The typical commercial or laboratory standard voltmeter currently in use probably employs an electromechanical mechanism in which current flowing through turns of wire is translated into the reading of the voltage.
Another type of voltmeter includes uses electrostatic fores and is the only voltmeter to measure voltage directly instead of by the effect of current.
It is said that we probably do not need a longer distance unit term than the "yottameter", because the radius of the observable universe is not more than about 200 yottameters.
