📊 Electrical Measuring Instruments in Prep 3 Science:

Instrument Physical Quantity Measured Circuit Connection Method Internal Resistance Design Requirement
Ammeter (A) Electric Current Intensity (I) in Amperes Connected in SERIES with circuit components Very low internal resistance (to avoid altering current)
Voltmeter (V) Potential Difference (V) or Battery EMF in Volts Connected in PARALLEL across the component Very high internal resistance (to prevent drawing current)
Ohm-meter Electric Resistance (R) in Ohms Connected directly across disconnected resistor Internal battery with calibrated galvanometer
