Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: Definition of a Volt
Here is another phrasing of definition .....
*volt 1 * (vlt)
*n.** Abbr. **V*
The International System unit of electric potential and electromotive
force, equal to the difference of electric potential between two points on
a conducting wire carrying a constant current of one ampere when the power
dissipated between the points is one watt.
How bout that?.........

We will either find a way or make one - Hannibal
In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity - Al Einstein
If you think you can do something or you think
you can't, in both cases you are probably right - H Ford
If you're not getting the results you want with the
current approach, move on and try something else. - A. Fleischmann
