Voltage V oltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating light . The term Volt(V) recognizes Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827), inventor of the voltaic pile—the forerunner of today's household battery. Voltage is either alternating current (AC) voltage or direct current (DC) voltage. How can we measure Voltage? Voltage is measured by Voltmeter How to measure voltage in the circuit? Voltage formula V=I×R (Voltage = Current × Resistance ) Example 1; Find the Voltage in the circuit below (Emf) Data given; R=8 I=5 Formula V=I×R V=5×8= 40 V=40 Therefore, E=40 Quiz If an electric circuit is composed of resistance of 0.5 ohms,and 2A (Current) what is the value of Voltage that runs through this circuit? show the answer
