1. (n.) volt
the SI unit of potential difference and electromotive force, equal to the difference of electric potential between two points of a conductor carrying a constant current of one ampere, when the power dissipated between these points is equal to one watt.
2. (n.) volt
a circular movement or gait in manège in which a horse going sideways turns around a center with its head facing outward.
3. volt
a sudden leap in fencing to avoid a thrust.
Etymology: (1650–60; < F volte < It volta, n. der. of voltare to turn < VL *volvitare)

1. (noun) Volt
a circular tread; a gait by which a horse going sideways round a center makes two concentric tracks
2. (noun) Volt
a sudden movement to avoid a thrust
3. (noun) Volt
the unit of electro-motive force; -- defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893 and by United States Statute as, that electro-motive force which steadily applied to a conductor whose resistance is one ohm will produce a current of one ampere. It is practically equivalent to / the electro-motive force of a standard Clark's cell at a temperature of 15¡ C.

1. Volt
The practical unit of electro-motive force or potential difference. It may be referred to various data.
An electro-motive force of one volt will cause a current of one ampere to flow through a resistance of one ohm.
A condenser of one farad capacity charged with one coulomb will have a rise of potential of one volt.
The cutting of 100,000,000 lines of force per second by a conductor induces one volt E. M. F.
A Daniell's battery gives an E. M. F. of 1.07 volts; about the most familiar approximate standard that can be cited.
It is equal to 1/300 absolute electrostatic unit.
It is equal to 1E8 absolute electro-magnetic units.
[Transcriber's note: The SI definition of a volt: The potential difference across a conductor when a current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power.]
