WHAT DOES ELECTROMETER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

electrometer

Electrometer

An electrometer is an electrical instrument for measuring electric charge or electrical potential difference. There are many different types, ranging from historical handmade mechanical instruments to high-precision electronic devices. Modern electrometers based on vacuum tube or solid-state technology can be used to make voltage and charge measurements with very low leakage currents, down to 1 femtoampere. A simpler but related instrument, the electroscope, works on similar principles but only indicates the relative magnitudes of voltages or charges.

Definition of electrometer in the English dictionary

The definition of electrometer in the dictionary is an instrument for detecting or determining the magnitude of a potential difference or charge by the electrostatic forces between charged bodies.
