Volt is the unit of electric potential difference.
It is sometimes called electromotive force, commonly known as voltage, named after the physicist Alessandro Volta (1745 - 1827), who invented the chemical battery.

How many volts are used in America?
If you mean the USA, there they use 120 volts / 60 Hz.
What does 115 vac mean?
115 volts alternating current
What is -v 12v?
Tricky question. 12 Volts, if referenced in AC, would mean a root-mean-squared (RMS) value of 12 Volts. It would also equate to a maximum voltage of about 17 volts. Roughly speaking 12 Volts AC is equal to 12 Volts DC. Just remember that 12 Volts AC isn't always 12 Volts....
What would 1 million volts do to body?
Although 1,000,000 volts sound pretty frightening, it is based on the current of how much damage it does to your body. But that doesn't mean that volts doesn't account for something. Having high voltages could mean that sparks could travel longer distances and harm you.
Is a 14 amp power tool better than 18 volt power tool?
You can't compare volts and amps in this context. If you mean 18 Volts vs. 14 Volts then the 18 Volt tool will provide more power for the job.
What is 25kv mean?
25 kilo-volts.
What does the letters on a fuse mean?
amps and or volts
What does KV mean in electrical language?
Kilo Volts K = 1000 so 5KV = 5000 volts
What does it mean by writing V and W in a bulb?
V on a light bulb means volts. W means watts.

If a sine wave has a peak value of 220 volts what is the route means square value?
If the Peak to neutral voltage is 220 volts, the root mean square voltage is 155.6 volts (sqrt(220)).
What does 1.3v mean?
1.3v means one point three volts.
What does 12vdc power mean?
It stands for "12 volts, direct current".
What does plus 12V mean?
Plus twelve volts if you're in physics.
