The term, 'voltage', is synonymous with 'potential difference'.
Originally, the term 'voltage' was used to describe potential difference when specifcally expressed in volts. These days, however, we use the term whatever multiples or submultiples of volts are used -so it applies to potential difference whether expressed in microvolts, millivolts, volts, kilovolts, megavolts, etc.
It's very important to understand that voltage is synonymous with 'potential difference', and not'potential'. So it would be quite incorrect to describe, say, the 'voltage at a point' in a circuit (e.g. "...the voltage at point A in a circuit is +12 V").

Which conditions refers to a reduced voltage levels of AC power that lasts for a period of time?
Reduced voltage levels of AC power that lasts for a period of time is known as a brownout.
Which biasing is known to as universal biasing?
voltage divider biasing
What is US voltage and Ecuador voltage?
US Voltage is 120 V @ 60 Hz.Ecuador Voltage is 120 V @ 60 Hz.They're compatible, the plugs are also the same.
How can you measure the power or voltage of a potato clock?
A voltmeter would measure the voltage. If you measure the voltage drop over a known low resistance you get a kinda-sorta idea of the power available.
What is the special properties of a diode?
in the negative biasing it gives the constant voltage irrespective of limited current.......the voltage it provides in the negative biasing is known as 'zener voltage' due to this property zener voltage is used as voltage regulator........voltage regulator is a circuit which gives constant output even the input is changing.
What is the voltage divider theorem?
it is aa linear circuit that produces the output voltage from the fraction of its input. It is also known as potential divider.
Electromotive force is also known as?
Electromotive force is also known as emf. It refers to the voltage given by an electrical energy source like dynamo or battery.
What is antilog amplifier?
An antilog amplifier is also known as a logarithmic converter. This means that the input voltage is multiplied by a set number in order to obtain the output voltage.
Voltage is also known as?
It means electricity. If enough bolts,aka electricity it can shock humans
Why electrons move in electricity?
Electrons will move in response to an electric potential - also known as a voltage. The electron will be attracted towards, or repelled from, one direction, due to this voltage.
In ohms law formula the letter E stands for?
The "E" stands for "Electromotive Force", also known as Voltage.
Generator excitation voltage?
the voltage which is given for creating magnetic field in a generator is known as excitation voltage.
Where is the voltage regulator on a 1992 Le Baron?
The engine computer is also the voltage regulatorThe engine computer is also the voltage regulator
Where is the voltage regulator located at on a 1995 Chrysler sebring?
The engine computer is also the voltage regulatorThe engine computer is also the voltage regulator
Why are clampers known as DC restorers?
A clamping circuit will bind the upper or lower extreme of a waveform to a fixed DC voltage level. These circuits are also known as DC restorers.
How do you use a thyristor as a diode?
A thyristor, also known as a silicon controlled rectifier, is a diode that can be turned on by application of a small gate voltage.
Units for measuring voltage are known as?
volts
