An ammeter is equivalent to a wire. What is a voltmeter equivalent to?

An ammeter is equivalent to a wire. What is a voltmeter equivalent to?


The resistance of ammeter is very small. When it is connected into the circuit, it has little effect on the total resistance of the circuit, so it can be regarded as pure wire in theory
The resistance of the voltmeter is very large. When other resistances in the circuit are small, the voltmeter can be regarded as cutting off the circuit, and the current flowing through the voltmeter is close to 0



An ammeter is equivalent to a wire. Is that a voltmeter?


Please note that the ammeter and voltmeter mentioned here are all in ideal state. The ammeter is equivalent to a wire, and the voltmeter can be regarded as an infinite resistance, that is, an open circuit. When the error or accurate calculation is to be considered, their internal resistance should be considered, such as the external method and the internal method for measuring resistance



Is voltmeter an electrical appliance or a wire in node method? What about ammeter?


Ignore the influence of the internal resistance of the meter. In the circuit, the voltmeter can be used as an open circuit and the ammeter as a short circuit. Or according to what you say, the voltmeter can be used as an electrical appliance with infinite resistance, and the ammeter can be used as a wire with zero resistance



If there is a short circuit of the appliance and the ammeter shows the number, then the voltmeter transformer wires at both ends of the appliance are connected in parallel
Isn't the voltmeter a disconnected circuit? How did it change the wire? If there were no other electrical appliances, would the power supply be short circuited?


The voltmeter can't cause a short circuit, because its resistance is very high. The short circuit must be the problem of the circuit
