Analog meters are devices that measure physical quantities like voltage, current, or resistance using a needle and a dial. The needle moves along a scale to indicate the measurement, providing a visual representation of the value. These meters are often used in electrical testing and troubleshooting. Unlike digital meters, which display readings in numbers, analog meters can be easier to read at a glance for some users. They are commonly found in tools like multimeters and ammeters, and are valued for their simplicity and reliability in various applications.
