| Notes | |
| Named after the Italian physicist Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta (1745-1827), the volt is the unit of electrical potential in the SI system. It is defined as the difference in potential between two points in a conductor carrying 1 ampere when the power dissipated between these points is 1 watt. | |
