What is Voltage?
Voltage is the amount of pressure required to move an electric charge (electrons) from one point to another in an electrical circuit. Voltage is also known as “electrical potential difference”, “electric tension” or “electric pressure”, it is the difference in electric potential of two points in an electric circuit.
Voltage Symbol
Voltage is denoted by the symbol V. Below diagram represents the symbol of voltage.
Voltage Unit
Voltage is measured in the unit “Volt”. One volt is equal to one joule of energy per coulomb of charge. A “Voltmeter” measures the voltage between two points in a system.
What is Voltage?
Voltage is an important parameter in circuits. It is the potential difference between the two charged points per unit charge in an electric field. In this article, we will discuss about voltage, voltage symbols, voltage units, voltage properties, voltage formulas, and types of voltages. We will also cover how to measure voltage.
