3. Which one of the following letters is used in formulas as the symbol for voltage?

A. P

B. W

C. I

D. E

A. An Ammeter.

It is a device used to measure the electric current flowing through any circuit.

D. E

Along with E, V is also commonly used as a symbol for voltage.

First question:

The magnitude of current flowing in a circuit is described in

units of Amperes. The device used to measure it is an Ampmeter,

or Ammeter.

Second question:

This question is so absurd that it should not be dignified with an

answer. Although 'E' is often used as the symbol for Electromotive

force, potential difference, and voltage, there's certainly no rule.

Anyone is free to use 'M', 'Q', 'Θ', or 'Щ' to denote voltage when

they write electrical formulas, just as long as they make sure to

explain the meaning of whatever symbols they use.
