Voltmeter is an instrument used to measure

1. Electric current
2. Electric charge
3. Resistance
4. Potential difference

Correct answer: Potential difference

Solution

A voltmeter measures the potential difference, also called voltage, between two points in a circuit. It is connected in parallel so it can compare the energy per unit charge at those points without significantly affecting the circuit.
