volt (redirected from volted)

volt ¹  (vlt)

n. Abbr. V

The International System unit of electric potential and electromotive force, equal to the difference of electric potential between two points on a conducting wire carrying a constant current of one ampere when the power dissipated between the points is one watt. See Table at measurement.

volt

Noun

the SI unit of electric potential; the potential difference between two points on a conductor carrying a current of 1 ampere, when the power dissipated between these points is 1 watt [after Count Alessandro Volta, physicist]

volt  (vlt)

The SI derived unit used to measure electric potential at a given point, usually a point in an electric circuit. A voltage difference of one volt drives one ampere of current through a conductor that has a resistance of one ohm. One joule of work is required to move an electric charge of one coulomb across a potential difference of one volt. One volt is equivalent to one joule per coulomb. See also Ohm's law.

volt - a unit of potential equal to the potential difference between two points on a conductor carrying a current of 1 ampere when the power dissipated between the two points is 1 watt; equivalent to the potential difference across a resistance of 1 ohm when 1 ampere of current flows through it V potential unit - a measure of the potential energy of a unit charge at a given point in a circuit relative to a reference point (ground) abvolt - a unit of potential equal to one-hundred-millionth of a volt millivolt, mV - a unit of potential equal to one thousandth of a volt microvolt - a unit of potential equal to one millionth of a volt nanovolt - a unit of potential equal to one billionth of a volt picovolt - a unit of potential equal to one trillionth of a volt femtovolt - a unit of potential equal to one quadrillionth of a volt (or one thousandth of a nanosecond) kilovolt, kV - a unit of potential equal to a thousand volts
