Voltage
The amount of potential energy between two points
on a circuit.
One point has more charge than another.
This difference in charge between the two points is
called Voltage.
It is measure in Volts, which technically is the potential
energy between two points that will impart one joule
or energy per coulomb of charge that passes through
it.
Voltage is represented in equation and schematics by
the letter V. 2
