Volt
Volt measures electric potential difference, equal to one watt per ampere.
History: The volt is named after Alessandro Volta and is the SI derived unit of electric potential.
Current use: Used in circuits, electronics, batteries, power systems, sensors, and electrical specifications.
Also written as V, volts.
Kilovolt
A kilovolt equals 10^3 volts.
History: The kilovolt is a common scaling of the volt for power-system work.
Current use: Used for electrical distribution, X-ray tubes, and industrial high-voltage equipment.
Also written as kV, kilovolts.
