| Voltage (V or E) can be thought of as electrical “pressure.” It’s the push that moves electrons, and hence energy, through wires. Voltage is not an indication of energy capacity. You can have the same voltage in a tiny blood vessel and a huge viaduct, which have very different capacities. Voltage is also known as electromotive force, electrical potential, and electrical potential difference. | |
