potential unit

Noun
  1. A measure of the potential energy of a unit charge at a given point in a circuit relative to a reference point (ground) (synset 113656245)
    is a type of: electromagnetic unit, emu - any of various systems of units for measuring electricity and magnetism
    subtypes:
    • abvolt - a unit of potential equal to one-hundred-millionth of a volt
    • millivolt, mv - a unit of potential equal to one thousandth of a volt
    • microvolt - a unit of potential equal to one millionth of a volt
    • nanovolt - a unit of potential equal to one billionth of a volt
    • picovolt - a unit of potential equal to one trillionth of a volt
    • femtovolt - a unit of potential equal to one quadrillionth of a volt (or one thousandth of a nanosecond)
    • v, volt - 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
    • kilovolt, kv - a unit of potential equal to a thousand volts
