Kill-A-Watt™ Meter
The meter works with any appliance and is simple to use. Just plug an appliance in
and the Kill-A-Watt displays the cumulative electricity usage in watts and watt-hours
as well as dollars and cents! Large LCD display also shows measurements in volts,
amps, Hz and VA with a 0.2% accuracy.
The Kill-A-Watt meter is a way to complement your curriculum and bring electricity
exercises to life. It efficiently demonstrates many laws of electricity, including power
as a function of voltage and inductance—and it can forecast energy costs! 51/8" H x
23/8" W x 15/8" D.

When water flows through a pipe, the pressure makes the water move.
When electrons flow through a wire, electromotive force moves the electrons.
A voltmeter measures how many volts of
EMF are pushing electrons along in a circuit.
A voltmeter is always connected in parallel
in a circuit.

Water flows through a
pipe (gallons per second).
Electrons flow through a wire
(electrons per second). An
ampere is a flow of 6 billion,
billion (6 x 1018) electrons per
second. Connect an ammeter
in series with the circuit being
tested.
