volt
volt1 [v??lt, v?lt]
(abbrev.: V)
¦ noun the SI unit of electromotive force, the difference of potential that would carry one ampere of current against one ohm resistance.
Origin
C19: named after the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta.
--------
volt2 [v?lt, v??lt]
¦ noun variant spelling of volte.
¦ verb Fencing make a quick movement to avoid a thrust.
Origin
C17: from Fr. volter (see volte).
Volt
The practical unit of electro-motive force or potential difference. It
may be referred to various data.
An electro-motive force of one volt will cause a current of one ampere
to flow through a resistance of one ohm.
A condenser of one farad capacity charged with one coulomb will have a
rise of potential of one volt.
The cutting of 100,000,000 lines of force per second by a conductor
induces one volt E. M. F.
A Daniell's battery gives an E. M. F. of 1.07 volts; about the most
familiar approximate standard that can be cited.
It is equal to 1/300 absolute electrostatic unit.
It is equal to 1E8 absolute electro-magnetic units.
[Transcriber's note: The SI definition of a volt: The potential
difference across a conductor when a current of one ampere dissipates
one watt of power.]

Volt
The volt (symbol: V) is the unit of electric potential, electric potential difference (voltage), and electromotive force in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745–1827).
Examples of use of Volt
1. This chair/bed not only houses a 12–volt battery to operate my ventilator, it has two 24–volt batteries to motorize it.
2. Tasers deliver a 50,000–volt jolt through two barbed darts that can penetrate clothing.
3. GM‘s Volt would use its battery pack and electric motor as the primary source of power.
4. Volt owners will be able to fully charge its lithium–ion battery by plugging it into a 110–volt outlet for approximately six hours a day, which for most drivers will presumably be while they are sleeping.
5. The company hopes to bring the Volt to market in 2010 as well.
