V

Volt (V):

Unit of electromotive force. It is the difference of potential required to make a current of one ampere flow through a resistance of one ohm.

Voltage:

The term most often used in place of electromotive force, potential, potential difference or voltage drop, to designate electric pressure that exists between two points and is capable of producing a flow of current when a closed circuit is connected between the two points.

Voltage Breakdown:

A test to determine maximum voltage across an insulated wire before electrical current leakage occurs through the insulation.

Voltage Rating:

The highest voltage that may be continuously applied to a wire or cord in conformance with standards or specifications.

Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR):

The ratio of the maximum effective voltage to the minimum effective voltage measured along the length of a mismatched radio frequency transmission line.
