Volt


 

The volt (symbol: V) is the SI derived unit of electric potential difference. The number of volts is a measure of the strength of an electrical source in the sense of how much power is produced for a given current level. It is named in honor of Alessandro Volta (1745–1827), who invented the voltaic pile, the first chemical battery.
