Volt

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.

EMU of Electric Potential

EMU

Definition

Electromagnetic Unit of electric potential in the CGS system. Equivalent to one abvolt, representing 10^-8 volts in the SI system.

History/Origin

Part of the CGS electromagnetic unit system developed in the 1800s. EMU units were widely used before the adoption of the SI system in electrical engineering and physics.

Current Use

Primarily used in historical contexts and some specialized physics applications. Occasionally referenced in electromagnetic theory and certain research areas.
