"The ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance as we want as little

current to be drawn as possible from the circuit under test.


Meanwhile, the ideal ammeter has zero resistance, so as to drop as
little voltage as possible as electrons flow through it. "
1. You want a voltmeter to measure voltage without affecting current,
so with an infinite resistance, no current will flow through it.
You want an ammeter to measure current without affecting voltage,
so with a zero resistance, there will be no voltage drop across it.
Obviously you'll never achieve either, but those are the ideal cases.
2. Think of electricity flowing through a wire as being like water
flowing through a pipe. The amperage, or current, would be
analogous to "gallons per minute". The voltage would be like
"pounds per square inch" of pressure. So, to accurately measure
current (amps), you want as much current flowing through the meter
as is safe for the meter, so low resistance is desired. To accurately
measure electrical pressure (voltage), you want a high resistance to
flow so the meter itself does not siphon off enough flow to drop the
pressure it is trying to measure.

3. There are two parameters measured frequently in electric energy:


voltage and amperage. Because the apparatus used to measure
them, have some distorting characteristics of their own, two
problems are
a) the measure of the "avidity" between two poles or points with
different potential (voltage) is distorted by the measuring apparatus
or voltmeter, because when the current flows along (low resistance
expressed in ohms) does not retain the energy long enough as to
measure the TRUE values of the difference of voltage measured....
(it would be ideal if electrons were stuck in the apparatus, however,
electrons have to flow, given thus, a slightly "low" artificial reading)
something that is impossible in real physics...

b).-The Ammeter, measures the flux of electricity through a given


conductor (wire, piece of metal, water, you name it)...however,
because it has spirals of metal, as part of the mechanism inside of it,
it has a natural "resistance" that distorts the reading of the true
amperage, that is, the amount of flow of electrons through a given
conductor, giving a slight "low reading" and the waste of some
energy in the form of warmth, heath (kinetic or radiant energy)
dispersed electrons that could not be read, as compared with the
theoretical. Mathematical expected values.
The paragraph refers, that, there is as yet, no perfect apparatus to
measure neither true voltage nor amperage in a given conducting
system.
