WHAT DOES VOLTAGE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

voltage

Voltage

Voltage, electrical potential difference, electric tension or electric pressure is the electric potential difference between two points, or the difference in electric potential energy of a unit charge transported between two points. Voltage is equal to the work done per unit charge against a static electric field to move the charge between two points. A voltage may represent either a source of energy, or lost, used, or stored energy. A voltmeter can be used to measure the voltage between two points in a system; often a common reference potential such as the ground of the system is used as one of the points. Voltage can be caused by static electric fields, by electric current through a magnetic field, by time-varying magnetic fields, or some combination of these three. The electric field around the rod exerts a force on the charged pith ball, in an electroscope In a static field, the work is independent of the path...

Definition of voltage in the English dictionary

The definition of voltage in the dictionary is an electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts.
