The term most often used in place of electromotive force, potential, difference or voltage drop, to designate electric pressure that exists between two points and is capable of producing a flow of current when a closed circuit is connected between the two points
The unit of electromotive force or electric pressure It is the electromotive force which, if steadily applied to a circuit having a resistance of one ohm, will produce a current of one ampere When two charges have a difference of potential the electric force that results is called electromotive force (emf) The unit used to indicate the strength of the emf is the volt The terms potential, electromotive force (emf), and voltage are often used interchangeably
A term referring to the electrical force or potential A technical synonym for voltage is emf or "electromotive force " Voltage is the parameter of electricity which causes current to flow when a circuit is completed Voltage is always presented in an energized line, whether or not the circuit is complete (i e , whether or not current flows)
The energy potential from a source that can produce a flow of electricity in a circuit; expressed in volts
A measure of electrical potential difference One volt is the potential difference needed in a circuit to make one Ampere flow, dissipating one Watt of heat
(Volts, symbol V or E) is the difference in electrical charge or potential between two objects or points that causes current to flow in a circuit  Also known as electromotive force (E) it is measured in volts (V)  Voltage is Ã’electrical pressure;Ó an analogy would be the force that is pushing the water in a pipe forward  Â
measure of the "push" of electric current The higher the voltage, the more force there is to push the current through the wire
The term most often used in place of electromotive force, potential, potential difference, or voltage drop to designate the electric pressure that exists between two points and is capable of producing a current when a closed circuit is connected between two points
the difference in electrical charge between two points in a circuit expressed in volts
Voltage is a measure of the force on a unit charge at a given point in space due to all the other "local" charges It is similar to the gravitational pull on a unit mass in space, except that, since charges can be + and -, the force can be attractive or repulsive 1 Volt = force required to produce a current of 1 Ampere in a wire of 1 Ohm resistance
The amount of electromotive force, measured in volts, that exists between two points
A measure of the force or "push" given the electrons in an electrical circuit; a measure of electrical potential One volt produces one amp of current when acting against a resistance of one ohm
Voltage is a measure of the energy required to move a charge from one point to another A difference in the amount of electric charge between two points creates a difference in potential energy, measured in "volts," which causes electrons to flow from an area with more electrons to an area with fewer, producing an electric current
The difference in electrical potential between any two CONDUCTORs or between a conductor and ground It is a measure of the electric energy per ELECTRON that electrons can acquire and/or give up as they move between the two conductors
the rate at which energy is drawn from a source that produces a flow of electricity in a circuit; expressed in volts
The numerical value of the electrical potential across or between any two points in an electric circuit
(expressed in units of volts) Voltage is the electrical equivalent of water pressure Electrical voltage can initiate damage to electrical devices, just as water pressure can burst pipes if the pressure is too high Below certain voltage levels, no damage will occur Above certain voltage levels, damage can occur The quantitative measure describing electrical force or potential Voltage Reference A voltage point from which a measurement is taken
The voltage of an electrical current is its force measured in volts. The systems are getting smaller and using lower voltages. high-voltage power lines. electrical force measured in volts high/low voltage
A measure of electrical potential One volt is the amount of electrical energy required to cause a current of 1 amp to flow through a resistor of 1 ohm A voltage will flow from a source of higher voltage (potential) to an object at a lower voltage (potential) A voltage charge becomes stationary, or static, on a surface when there is no way for it to drain away because there is no path to ground or the charged material is an insulator
the electrical pressure (electromotive force) that makes current flow through a conductor
Electromotive pressure that forces current through an electrical conductor The difference of potential between any two conductors of a circuit 4
Potential difference between two electrodes; a measure of the chemical potential for a redox reaction to occur
Potential difference between two points The measurement of electrical potential in a conductor
The term most often used in place of electromotive force, potential, potential difference, or voltage drop, to designate electric pressure that exists between two points and is capable of producing a flow of current when a closed circuit is connected between the two points
a sort of "electric pressure", gauging the electric force acting on ions or electrons (or more accurately, the amount of energy they might obtain from that force) In electric devices such as are used in the home, increasing the voltage increases the electric current--just as increasing the pressure driving water through a pipe increases its flow rate (The scientific term is "potential" or "potential difference" )
a law showing that energy is conserved around an electrical circuit: - The directed sum of the electrical potential differences around a circuit must be zero
an autotransformer that has its winding divided into (normally) ten equal-turn sections so that when an alternating voltage is applied to the whole winding the voltage across each section is exactly one tenth

A voltage higher than that used for power distribution The lower limit is usually taken as either 5000V (Bell) or 8700V (National Electrical Safety Code)
Descriptive of transmission lines and electrical equipment with voltage levels from 100 kV through 287 kV Also see extra-high voltage, ultra-high voltage
