Question:
Why a DC voltmeter can not measure an AC voltage?
Answer:
- In case of AC, the average value of current and voltage over a complete cycle is zero
- The DC voltmeter measures the peak value of DC voltagewhile AC voltmeter measures the RMS value of the AC voltage.
Hence, the DC voltmeter cannot measure the AC current.
