What Is Voltage? A Simple Explanation for Beginners Voltage is one of the most important concepts in electricity. We see voltage ratings everywhere — on batteries, chargers, solar panels, inverters, power supplies and electrical appliances. But what exactly is voltage? What Is Voltage? Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points . In simple words, voltage is the electrical potential difference that can push electric charge through a circuit. Voltage is measured in Volts , and its symbol is V . For example: A small battery may provide 1.5V. A common rechargeable battery cell may provide around 3.7V nominally. A car battery is commonly rated at 12V. Household electrical supply in Pakistan is approximately 230V AC. It is important to remember that voltage is always measured between two points . It is not simply a property of one point by itself. What Is the Unit of Voltage? The SI unit of voltage is the volt (V) . One volt can be expressed as: 1 Vo...
