1. volt, V(noun)

   a unit of potential equal to the potential difference between two points on a conductor carrying a current of 1 ampere when the power dissipated between the two points is 1 watt; equivalent to the potential difference across a resistance of 1 ohm when 1 ampere of current flows through it

Kernerman English Learner's Dictionary

1. volt(noun)ʊlt

   a unit of measurement of an electric current

Wiktionary

1. volt(Noun)

   In the International System of Units, the derived unit of electrical potential and electromotive force (voltage); the potential difference across a conductor when a current of one ampere uses one watt of power. Symbol: V

Origin: Named after the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta.

Webster Dictionary

1. Volt(noun)

   a circular tread; a gait by which a horse going sideways round a center makes two concentric tracks

2. Volt(noun)

   a sudden movement to avoid a thrust

3. Volt(noun)

   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.

The Standard Electrical Dictionary

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.]
