What is Voltage

11/7/2020

 
What is Voltage
​Voltage is the amount of potential energy available per unit charge. It’s an expression of potential energy and must be measured across two different parts of a circuit. A useful analogy to circuits is a system of water flowing through pipes. If electric current is synonymous to flow, then voltage would be synonymous to the pressure.

This is lesson #3 from: Circuits
