To measure the pressure of air which instrument is used?

  • (A) Altimeter
  • (B) Barometer
  • (C) Ammeter
  • (D) Electrometer
  • Barometer is an instrument that measures the air pressure in the atmosphere. It works by comparing the weight of a liquid column of mercury or the expansion of a metal chamber in an aneroid barometer to the weight of the air. Meteorologists use this tool because changes in air pressure are often an indication of weather changes.
  • Altimeter: While many altimeters (barometric altimeters) use air pressure to estimate altitude, their primary purpose is to measure the height of an object above a fixed level rather than the pressure itself.
  • Ammeter: This instrument is used to measure electric current in a circuit, typically in units of amperes.
  • Electrometer: This is an electrical instrument used to measure electric charge or electrical potential difference.
