A device that measures current is called an “ammeter” and a device that measured voltage is called a “voltmeter”. Nowadays, these are usually found within the same physical device (a “multimeter”), which can also measure resistance (by measuring voltage and current, resistance can easily determined). We will limit our description to the design of simple analogue ammeters and voltmeters.
