what is the unit of volt ?
Answers
Answer:
the unit of voltage electric potential difference
Explanation:
Volt (V)
Volt definition
Volt is the electrical unit of voltage or potential difference (symbol: V).
One Volt is defined as energy consumption of one joule per electric charge of one coulomb.
1V = 1J/C
One volt is equal to current of 1 amp times resistance of 1 ohm:
1V = 1A ⋅ 1Ω
Alessandro Volta
The Volt unit is named after Alessandro Volta, an Italian physicist who invented an electric battery.

Volts to watts conversion
The power in watts (W) is equal to the voltage in volts (V) times the current in amps (A):
watts (W) = volts (V) × amps (A)
Volts to joules conversion
The energy in joules (J) is equal to the voltage in volts (V) times the electric charge in coulombs (C):
joules (J) = volts (V) × coulombs (C)
Volts to amps conversion
The current in amps (A) is equal to the voltage in volts (V) divided by the resistance in ohms (Ω):
amps (A) = volts (V) / ohms(Ω)
The current in amps (A) is equal to the power in watts (W) divided by the voltage in volts (V):
amps (A) = watts (W) / volts (V)
Volts to electron-volts conversion
The energy in electronvolts (eV) is equal to the potential difference or voltage in volts (V) times the electric charge in electron charges (e):
electronvolts (eV) = volts (V) × electron-charge (e)
= volts (V) × 1.602176e-19 coulombs (C)
