ボルト

定義

SIの電位差(電圧)の単位で、1クーロンの電荷あたり1ジュールのエネルギーとして定義される(1 V = 1 J/C)。

解説

Named after Alessandro Volta, inventor of the electrochemical battery. A standard AA battery provides 1.5 V; a household outlet delivers 120 V (US) or 230 V (Europe); a lightning bolt can reach 300 million volts. Voltage drives current through a circuit — doubling voltage doubles current if resistance stays constant (Ohm's law: V = IR).
