Voltage is related to energy by charge. Power equals voltage times current (amperes), and energy equals voltage times charge (coulombs).
- An ampere is 1 coulomb of charge moving per second.
- A watt (power) is 1 joule of work done (or energy transferred) per second.

Why does voltage matter?
Voltage is a measure of electrical potential. I understood voltage best when my first semester Electronics professor told the class that voltage is to an electrical circuit as water pressure is to a plumbing "circuit".
What is the function of a voltmeter in an electrical circuit?
To measure Voltage which is the force pushing current :)
Which electrical test requires the supply to be energized?
Testing of an electrical circuit for voltage requires the supply to be energized.
In the electrical circuit the higher the voltage the lower the?
Amps Ohm's law states the current is directly proportional to the applied emf (voltage) and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.
What happens if a circuit has no resistance?
Then the voltage in will equal the voltage out. The purpose of a resistor is to reduce the amount of electrical flow of current. You 'short out' the supply and blow a fuse/circuit breaker.

What is a short to voltage?
what is short to voltage in a car electrical circuit & how to check it ?
Why is a voltage regulator important?
To protect voltage sensitive components of an electrical circuit.
What is the definition of applied voltage?
Any voltage that is fed into or "applied" to an electrical circuit is referred to as an "applied voltage".
What is the function of a voltmeter in an electrical circuit?

In an electrical circuit a voltage difference is?
Volt difference causes a short circuit! ChaCha
What does an electrical circuit need to provide the power?
An electrical circuit needs Voltage-electrical pressure pushing electrons, and Amprege-electron flow through a conductor. P=IxE (Power= Voltage x Amprege.
When a switch in an electrical circuit is turned off what will happen?
Closing a switch in an electrical circuit will complete the circuit. The supply voltage will then be applied to that circuit, and current will flow through that circuit.
What is the amount of electrical pressure in a circuit?
They call that "voltage" or EMF.
What measure of electrical energy transfers by electrons in a circuit?
Voltage
What does volt measure?
Voltage measures the electrical potential between two parts of an electrical circuit. Also called electromotive force. Voltage provides the 'pressure' to drive electrons round a circuit.
What you measure voltage into?
You measure voltage using a voltmeter which involves measuring the electrical potential difference between 2 points in an electrical circuit.
