==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A [[joulemeter]] is an electronic device used to [[measure]] the [[Energy Transfer|energy transfer]] by [[electricity]] in a [[circuit]].
===About Joulemeters===
: [[Joulemeter]]s can be used to [[measure]] the [[energy]] [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] to an [[Electrical Component|electrical component]] in a [[circuit]].
: A [[joulemeter]] can be used measure the total [[energy]] [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] to an [[Immersion Heater|immmersion heater]].
: A [[joulemeter]] can be made by attaching an [[ammeter]] in [[Series Circuit|series]] with a [[Electrical Component|component]] a [[voltmeter]] in [[Parallel Circuit|parallel]] with the [[Electrical Component|component]] and using a [[stopwatch]] to calculate the [[energy]] [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] using the equation:
<math>E=IVt</math>
Where:
<math>E</math> = The [[energy]] [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] (or electrical work done).
<math>I</math> = The [[Electrical Current|current]] through the [[Electrical Component|component]].
<math>V</math> = The [[Potential Difference|potential difference]] across the [[Electrical Component|component]].
<math>t</math> = The [[time]] over which [[energy]] has been [[Energy Transfer|transferred]].
