Voltage is an electric potential difference between two points. The symbol of voltage is “V.” Voltage can be expressed as voltage = current x resistance or volt = amps x ohms or V = A x \u03a9. The units and dimension of voltage is kg\u22c5m2<\/sup>\u22c5s\u22123<\/sup>\u22c5A\u22121<\/sup>, M L2<\/sup> T\u22123<\/sup> I\u22121<\/sup>. Voltage was found by “Alessandro Volta” in 1745. Voltage can be generated, transferred and stored for usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The voltage can be generated using these 7 methods such as chemical, mechanical, thermal, photovoltaic, piezoelectric, electrostatic, and galvanic methods. The most popular voltage generation method is the mechanical method using EMF principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The generated voltage can be transmitted through the cables by increasing and decreasing the voltage level by using transformers in order to provide the standard domestic consumptions. Voltage is mainly two types such as AC voltage and DC voltage. AC voltage waste less power during the generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AC voltage can be converted into DC voltage. This process is called rectification. Voltage can be measured using a voltmeter, but a multimeter and oscilloscope are more precious equipment to measure the voltage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohm’s law states that the “current passing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points when the temperature remains constant”. Current is the flow of electric charge in a conductor. Resistance is the barrier to the electric charge flow. Superconductivity is an ideal conductor with zero resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capacitors can store electrical energy when it is charged. During the discharge, it can release energy. When an electrical circuit exceeds the voltage design limit, it is “overvoltage”. When it is reduced, the designed limit is called the “undervoltage” condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of these conditions are not recommended for the equipment. Electricity can be generated with using renewable and sustainable energy. The produced energy can be stored in the capacitors and batteries for usage. Voltage flow can generate the current due to resistance. Hence voltage is more risky when it is used..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
