Loading effect

  • When a voltmeter having an internal resistance of Rm is connected in parallel with the load resistance RL of the circuit under test, the circuit conditions will be altered.
  • The effective resistance will be the parallel combination of  RL and Rm. The voltmeter indicates the voltage across this effective resistance, where the indicated voltage will always be less than the true voltage. This is known as the loading effect.
  • Hence the instrument must possess high input impedance to reduce the loading effect.
