The value of the voltage (potential difference) across a conductor when a current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power in the conductor. It is also equal to one joule of energy per coulomb of charge, J/C. Unit conversion: V = W/A = (J/s)/A = J/As = J/C where V=volt, W=watt(power), A=ampere, s=second, C=coulomb(charge)

FranVoltmeters measure in - wait for it - volts.Some may domillivolts as well. A select few might do Kilovolts, or even more.
But these days it's rare to find dedicated voltmeters, we tend to get so-called multimeters instead. They'll happily measure resistance, or current, maybe even capacitance if you ask them.

What is the basic unit of voltage called?
the basic unit of voltage is watts
What is the unit of electrical voltage?
The Volt
What is the base unit of voltage?
The base unit of voltage is the volt, a combined unit meaning joules per coulomb.AnswerThe SI unit for voltage is the volt (symbol: V), which is a derived unit -not a base unit. There are seven base units in the SI system: metre, kilogram, second, ampere, candela, kelvin, and mole. SI units which are not base units are termed 'derived units'.
What is the difference between ohms and volts?
ohms is the unit of resistance while volts is the unit of voltage
How much voltage can be plugged into a rooftop unit with a GFCI outlet?
read the manufacturer's nameplate on the unit.
