Voltage (voltage), also known as potential difference or potential difference, is a physical quantity that measures the energy difference between a unit charge in an electrostatic field due to different potentials.
Its magnitude is equal to the work done by the unit positive charge moving from point A to point B due to the electric field force, and the direction of the voltage is defined as the direction from high potential to low potential.
The international unit of voltage is volt (V), commonly used units are millivolt (mV), microvolt (μV), kilovolt (kV) and so on.
This concept is similar to "water pressure" caused by high and low water levels.
It should be pointed out that the word "voltage" is generally used only in circuits, and "potential difference" and "potential difference" are generally applied to all electrical phenomena.
Common conversion formula:
1kV=1000V
1V=1000mV
1mV=1000μv
