Watt per Ampere

W/A

Definition

A derived unit of electric potential equal to one volt. Represents the ratio of power (watt) to current (ampere), which by definition equals one volt.

History/Origin

This unit arises from the fundamental relationship between power, voltage, and current in electrical circuits (P = V × I). It provides an alternative way to express voltage using basic electrical quantities.

Current Use

Used in electrical engineering when analyzing power systems and circuit relationships. Helpful for understanding the fundamental connection between voltage, current, and power in electrical circuits.

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.
