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.

Statvolt
stV
Definition
A unit of electric potential in the CGS electrostatic system. One statvolt equals approximately 299.7925 volts, making it a much larger unit than the volt.
History/Origin
Part of the CGS electrostatic unit system, where the prefix "stat" indicates electrostatic units. The value is related to the speed of light in vacuum.
Current Use
Used in some areas of physics, particularly in electromagnetic theory, plasma physics, and certain research applications where the CGS system is preferred.
