Q

Define volt

A

Derived electrical unit of electrical potential. One volt is the difference of electrical potential between two points of a conductor carrying constant current of 1 ampere, when the power dissipated between these points is 1 watt

Watt = volt x ampere
Volt = watt/ampere

SI base units as 1 V = 1 kg m2 s-3 A -1 (one-kilogram meter squared per second cubed per ampere).
