electrometer

instrument designed to measure very small voltages and currents. The quadrant, Lindermann, Hoffman, and Wulf electrometers measure electrical potential between charged elements (e.g., plates or fine quartz fibres) within the housings of the electrometer. The sensitivity of these instruments is about 0.01 volt.
