About This Tool
This Electric Potential Converter is a core tool for electronics and physics. It converts units of electric potential difference, also known as voltage. Voltage is the work needed per unit of charge to move a test charge between two points. The base unit is the volt (V).
Voltage is one of the most fundamental concepts in electricity, representing the 'pressure' that pushes electric current through a circuit. This tool covers the standard SI unit and older CGS units.
Tips & Features
- The Volt: The volt (V) is the SI unit of electric potential, defined as the potential difference between two points that will impart one joule of energy per coulomb of charge that passes through it.
- EMU vs. ESU: The abvolt is the unit of electric potential in the CGS-EMU (electromagnetic) system, while the statvolt is the unit in the CGS-ESU (electrostatic) system. These are obsolete but appear in older scientific texts.
- Voltage as Energy per Charge: A key relationship is that 1 Volt = 1 Joule / 1 Coulomb. This defines voltage as a measure of potential energy per unit charge.
