Voltage

Electric potential difference between two points.

volt (V)

Dimension: $[\,M L^2 T^{-3} I^{-1}\,]$

How values of voltage span the physical world (in V, log scale).

Lightning

10⁸ V

Lower limit10^-6 VUpper limit10⁹ V

Ohm's Law

V = I R

Electrical Power

P = V I

Capacitance

C = \dfrac{Q}{V}

Faraday's Law of Induction

\varepsilon = -\dfrac{d\Phi}{dt}

Capacitor Energy Stored

W = \tfrac{1}{2} C V^2

Electric Potential (point charge)

V = \dfrac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\dfrac{Q}{r}

RMS Voltage

V_{\mathrm{rms}} = \dfrac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}}
