What's the difference in nuance?
Dear native speakers,
Please help me clear out what the difference in nuance is between the following two sentences:
1. The voltage will be measured in this test.
2. The voltage is measured in this test.
In 1, for example, is there a possiblity that not only voltage but also other things may be measured? However, in 2, only the voltage is measured??

Hi Gori, I don't see that. I see only that in one case, the test hasn't taken place yet, and in the other, it's a description of a test performed on an on-going basis. Either way, it's possible that other things are measured as well.
