# Definition A volt is defined as the difference in charge between two different points Expressed in SI units, a volt is: $$ V = \frac{kg \cdot m^2 \cdot s^{-3}}{A} $$ # Characteristics - Voltage is the same in parallel - The algebraic sum of all voltages in a loop must equal zero. A loop is defined as a closed path through a circuit that encounters no node more than once. # Equations - $V = \frac{I (A)}{R (\Omega)}$ - $V = \sqrt{ P (W) \cdot R (\Omega)}$ - $V = \frac{P (W)}{I (A)}$
