Voltage power and current, where 1 volt = 1 watt (of power) per 1 ampere (of current). This definition is equivalent to the more commonly used 'joules per coulomb'. Voltage or electric potential difference is denoted symbolically by , but more often simply as "V", for instance in the context of Ohm's or Kirchhoff's circuit laws. Electric potential differences between points can be caused by electric charge, by electric current through a magnetic field, by time-varying magnetic fields, or some combination of these three. A voltmeter can be used to measure the voltage (or potential difference) between two points in a
Coefficients of potential two conductors carry equal and opposite charges, formula_20 Coefficients of potential In electrostatics, the coefficients of potential determine the relationship between the charge and electrostatic potential (electrical potential), which is purely geometric: where "Q" is the surface charge on conductor "i". The coefficients of potential are the coefficients "p". φ should be correctly read as the potential on the i-th conductor, and hence "formula_2" is the p due to charge 1 on conductor 2. or more formally Note that: The physical content of the symmetry is as follows: In general, the coefficients is used when describing system of conductors, such
