The principle on which vector voltmeter is based is_____________?

Correct answer: D. that it measures the amplitude of a single at two points and at the same time measures their phase difference

  • A. that it works on the principle of complex variation
  • B. that it measures the response of linear ramp voltage
  • C. same as digital meter
  • D. that it measures the amplitude of a single at two points and at the same time measures their phase difference

Explanation

A vector voltmeter measures the magnitude of a signal and the phase difference between signals at two points, so it gives their voltage relationship as a phasor. This is why it is useful for measuring gain and phase in AC circuits.
