Which instrument would you use to measure electric potential?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. A voltmeter
Electric potential is another name for voltage, and a voltmeter measures voltage. An ammeter measures current and an ohmmeter measures resistance. A potentiometer is a variable resistor, not a meter.
Tip: Potential = volts, so use a voltmeter.
