The energy per unit charge is called the potentialdifference.
Potential
The energy per unit charge is called the potentialdifference.
The SI unit of electric charge is called the coulomb. It is a derived unit, and is defined as the amount of charge moved by a steady state current of one ampere for one second. Alternatively, it is defined as the amount of charge across a capacitance of one farad charged to a potential of one volt. In terms of elementary charge, from nuclear physics, it is defined as the charge represented by about 6.24150965 x 1018 protons or electrons.
The work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to a certain point while keeping it in equilibrium is called the electric potential at that point. It is a measure of the potential energy that a unit positive charge would have at that location.
voltage
The difference in potential between two charges is called voltage or electric potential difference. It is a measure of the electric potential energy per unit charge due to the presence of the charges. Voltage is measured in volts.
The potential difference between two points in a circuit is the energy required per unit charge to move a charge between those points. It represents the work done by an electric field on a charge as it moves through the circuit.
EMF is the energy per unit electric charge that is imparted by an energy source, such as an electric generator or a battery. As the device does work on the electric charge being transferred within itself, energy is converted from one form to another. This is the reason why it is called a force.The work done on a unit of electric charge or the energy gained by the unit charge is the electromotive force emf (or E) and is characteristic of any energy source capable of driving electric charge around a circuit. A common unit of electromotive force is the volt V, a unit equal to the difference in electric potential between two points in a conductor carrying a current of one ampere and dissipating one watt of power between the two points.
Yes, the volt is the unit of electric potential or electromotive force. It represents the amount of potential energy per unit charge.
No, Coloumb is the unit of charge. The SI unit of energy is Joule.
Potential difference is defined as follows: every coloumb of charge that passes through this difference will gain (or lose, depending on direction and signs) 1 joule of energy. This unit, joule/coloumb, is simply called the volt.
= voltage
I don't think such a unit is used, or would make much sense, in physics. That sounds like the description of voltage - unit volt. However, the volt is not really a difference in electric charge, but rather, of electric potential. It can be understood as potential energy related to electric fields: if there is an electric potential between two points, it requires a certain amount of energy to move a unit charge from one point to the other. Thus, the unit volt is equivalent to joules / coulomb.
