Volts is actually the measure of the difference in POTENTIAL. It is also called Electro-Motive Force, or EMF. This is important because between two conductors of equal potential (same phase, same voltage to ground) you get a reading of 0 volts. That doesn't mean there isn't power there. There may be a lot of potential in each conductor in fact, just not between the two. That's why when testing a circuit you have to test it with a KNOWN POTENTIAL, such as a ground you know is properly grounded.
Practical applications are: There is no difference in potential between a hot wire and a plastic box, or between it and itself or a wire from the same phase. There is no difference between a hot wire and a wood floor (usually) such as in a house. This is how electricians learn how to handle hot wires and not get hurt.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized

What else can I help you with?
The strength of force is measured in?
Electric field strength is measured in Volts per meter, V/m OR equivalently, Newton per Coulomb, N/C.
What is the pushing power of an electrical source?
The pushing power of an electrical source is referred to as voltage. Voltage is a measure of the electromotive force that causes electric charges to flow in a circuit. It is measured in volts (V) and determines how strongly the electrical source can push charges through a circuit.
Which Two electrical quantities are measured in volts?
Voltage and potential difference are measured in volts.
What is the temperature of 1.5 volts?
Temperature is measured in degrees, voltage is measured in volts. They are different physical concepts.
Is 18v or 24v more powerful?
Without knowing the current the power cannot be known. <<>> In the terms of more potential force, 24 volts is on a higher scale than 18 volts. What this allows is for longer distances to be used on the same amperage draw. It is this factor that changed car battery use from 6 volts to 12 volts. On a car 6 volt system fully loaded the car's headlights would hardly illuminate the road.
What is strength of a power source that is measured in volts?

The strength of force is measured in?
Electric field strength is measured in Volts per meter, V/m OR equivalently, Newton per Coulomb, N/C.
Inability to move?
How quickly is energy pulled from a source measured in volts
How do volts get power?
Volts cause current to flow through the load. The current is measured in amps, and the volts multiplied by the amps gives the power in watts.
What is force measured in volts?
'Force' isn't measured in volts. Potential and potential difference are measured in volts.
What is the pushing power of an electrical source?
The pushing power of an electrical source is referred to as voltage. Voltage is a measure of the electromotive force that causes electric charges to flow in a circuit. It is measured in volts (V) and determines how strongly the electrical source can push charges through a circuit.
Is the strength of an electromagnet measured in volts?
That's a tricky question. Well, technically it is not measured in volts. The strength of an electromagnet depends on the electrical current which flows through its wires, but not on what drives that current. The current is measured in the amount of charge per unit time that flows through the wires. But when it comes to measuring the magnet, you have to refer to the magnetic field. Without it, there wouldn't be any "magnet." So, logically, to measure the strength of the magnet you must first measure the strength of the magnetic field. It's strength is measured in Volts per meter(V/m). So to measure the strength of the electromagnet you must measure the strength of the magnetic field whose formula is found in the next to last sentence. Hope this helps.
How do you measure power rating?
Power is measured in Watts. It is Volts times Amps (as figured in the simplest way).
How can you check a many volts in the power source?
voltage meter
What does the term electromotive force mean?
Electromotive force (EMF) is the voltage or electrical potential difference produced by a power source, such as a battery, that enables the flow of current in a circuit. It is measured in volts and represents the ability of the power source to drive electric current through a circuit.
What is the potential difference measured in volts?
'Force' isn't measured in volts. Potential and potential difference are measured in volts.
How are emf measured?
emf in volts
