Cycle per second operation. Thus, one becquerel is one event per second "on average", whereas one hertz is one event per second on a regular cycle. Cycle can also be a unit for measuring usage of reciprocating machines, especially presses, in which cases "cycle" refers to one complete revolution of the mechanism being measured (i.e. the shaft of a reciprocating engine). Cycle per second The cycle per second was a once-common English name for the unit of frequency now known as the hertz (Hz). The plural form was typically used, often written cycles per second, cycles/second, c.p.s., c/s, ~, or, ambiguously, just cycles.
Voltage Voltage Voltage, electric potential difference, electric pressure or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points. The difference in electric potential between two points (i.e., voltage) in a static electric field is defined as the work needed per unit of charge to move a test charge between the two points. In the International System of Units, the derived unit for voltage is named "volt". In SI units, work per unit charge is expressed as joules per coulomb, where 1 volt = 1 joule (of work) per 1 coulomb (of charge). The official SI definition for "volt" uses
