Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments
Which one of the following is not a measurable quantity?
Show answer and solution
Answer: (d)
- Only differences of potential can be measured (a voltmeter is always connected between two points); absolute potential at a point depends on the chosen zero.
- Resistance and voltage difference are measured directly; displacement current is treated as measurable through its magnetic effect.
- So the answer is (d) Voltage.
