Here's why:
* Electric potential is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field. It's measured in volts (V).
* Voltmeters are designed to measure the difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit. This difference in potential is often referred to as voltage.
To use a voltmeter, you connect its probes to the two points you want to measure the potential difference between. The voltmeter then displays the voltage difference.
