Scientific Overview

Electric voltage, also called electric potential difference, is the work needed per unit charge to move a test charge between two points in an electric field. It drives electric current through conductors.

Historical Background

Alessandro Volta invented the first battery in 1800, creating the first sustained voltage source. The unit volt is named after him. Georg Ohm established the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

Real-World Applications

Power Systems

Voltage levels determine power transmission efficiency and safety.

Electronics

Circuit components require specific voltage ranges for proper operation.

Electrochemistry

Cell voltage determines the spontaneity of electrochemical reactions.

Medical Equipment

Precise voltage control is critical for devices like ECG and EEG machines.
