volt

A circular movement executed by a horse in manège.

A sudden movement made in avoiding a thrust in fencing.

The SI-derived unit of electric potential and electromotive force, equal to the difference of electric potential between two points on a conducting wire carrying a constant current of one ampere when the power dissipated between the points is one watt.

In the manège, a round or cirecular tread; a gait of two treads made by a horse going sidewise round a center, with the head turned outward.

In fencing, a sudden movement or leap to avoid a thrust.

The practical unit of electromotive force.

A circular tread; a gait by which a horse going sideways round a center makes two concentric tracks.

A sudden movement to avoid a thrust.

The unit of electro-motive force; — defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893 and by United States Statute as, that electro-motive force which steadily applied to a conductor whose resistance is one ohm will produce a current of one ampère. It is practically equivalent to 1000/1434 the electro-motive force of a standard Clark’s cell at a temperature of 15° C.

In the International System of Units, the derived unit of electrical potential and electromotive force (voltage); the potential difference across a conductor when a current of one ampere uses one watt of power. Symbol: V
