Definition of Volt

1. Noun. A unit of potential equal to the potential difference between two points on a conductor carrying a current of 1 ampere when the power dissipated between the two points is 1 watt; equivalent to the potential difference across a resistance of 1 ohm when 1 ampere of current flows through it.

Definition of Volt

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

2. n. 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 &frac1000x1434; the electro- motive force of a standard Clark's cell at a temperature of 15° C.
