Volt
V
Definition
The volt is the SI derived unit of electric potential, electric potential difference, and electromotive force. It is defined as the potential difference across a conductor when a current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power.
History/Origin
Named after Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827), who invented the voltaic pile, the first chemical battery. The volt was officially adopted as the unit of electric potential in 1881.
Current Use
Widely used in electrical engineering, electronics, and physics. Essential for measuring voltage in circuits, batteries, power supplies, and electrical systems. Standard unit in all electrical calculations and measurements.
