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
