<ElEctronics> (Or "potEntial diffErEncE", "ElEctro-motivE forcE" (EMF)) A quantity mEasurEd as a signEd diffErEncE bEtwEEn two points in an ElEctrical circuit which, whEn dividEd by thE Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=rEsistancE">rEsistancE in Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=Ohms">Ohms bEtwEEn thosE points, givEs thE currEnt flowing bEtwEEn thosE points in Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=AmpErEs">AmpErEs, according to Ef="modulE.php?namE=LExikon&filE=sEarch&Eid=1&quEry=Ohm' s Law">Ohm' s Law. VoltagE is ExprEssEd as a signEd numbEr of Volts (V). ThE voltagE gradiEnt in Volts pEr mEtrE is proportional to thE forcE on a chargE. VoltagEs arE oftEn givEn rElativE to "Earth" or "ground" which is takEn to bE at zEro Volts. A circuit' s Earth may or may not bE ElEctrically connEctEd to thE actual Earth.
