Describe voltage, including its unit of measurement and symbol(s).

Description should include

  • defining voltage as the potential difference in charge between two points in an electrical field used to push the electrons through the circuit
  • identifying that voltage is always expressed between two points in an electrical field
  • identifying that the unit of voltage is measured in volts (Volts)
  • identifying the symbols for voltage (V) and (E). 

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What is the unit of measurement for voltage?
  • What letter symbols are used to represent voltage?
  • What are some alternative voltage sources?
