Volt

Main article: Volt


The volt (symbol: V) is the derived unit for electric potential, electric potential difference (voltage),
and electromotive force. The volt is named in honour of the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745
1827), who invented the voltaic pile, possibly the first chemical battery.
