Units of electrical potential

The volt (symbol: V), named after Alessandro Volta, is the unit of measurement of electric potential, electric potential difference (voltage), and electromotive force in the International System of Units (SI).

The abvolt (abV) is the unit of potential difference in the CGS-EMU system of units. It corresponds to in the SI system and 1/ statvolt ≈ in the CGS-ESU system.
