What's the maximum amount of current 1 volt can supply ?

What " 1Volt " means ?

Re: what is voltage ?

This is hard to answer because I don't know your background. Voltage is a potential difference. Now, depending upon your background, that statement might not mean much. To think about potential difference, imagine a large sum of charges in one place, and a lesser amount of charges in another place. There is a difference between these two places ... a potential difference. If I connected the two places together with something that would allow the charges to move through it, I would have current flow, or moving charges. So, potential difference, or voltage, is the driving force for current flow.

As for current flow, Ohm's Law determines how much current can flow. V = IR, Voltage is equal to the current flow time the resistance. Rearranging shows that if the voltage is constant, then the resistance will determine how much current flows. Theoretically, if you connected the two clouds of charge with something that has no resistance, then an infinite amount of current would flow, and on the other extreme no current flows when the two clouds are not connected.

Now that you know what voltage is, with a few web searches you should be able to answer "what does 1 volt mean?" by yourself. Do a web search on "Electric Voltage".

Re: what is voltage ?

Voltage (V):- It is the work done (W) per unit charge (Q).
V=W/Q [joules per coulomb].
The potentional difference between two points A and B is 1 volt if one joule of energy is used in moving 1 coulomb of charge from one of the points to the other.

I think you could find its rigorous definition in electromagnetic texts as scalar electric potential difference.

Theoretically ∞ ( 1V / 0Ω ) , depending on the source power & load value.

Re: what is voltage ?

Volt refers to the "potential(height)" b/w two terminals.
P.D.'ll be 1volt if:
"1J Work is required to move a charge of 1C within two terminals"
Hop it help you

How to find that 1 joule of energy is used ?

Re: what is voltage ?

Hi Dear

Voltage (V):- It is the work done (W) per unit charge (Q).
V=W/Q [joules per coulomb].
The potentional difference between two points A and B is 1 volt if one joule of energy is used in moving 1 coulomb of charge from one of the points to the other.

Re: what is voltage ?

Voltage (sometimes also called electric or electrical tension) is the difference of electrical potential between two points of an electrical or electronic circuit, expressed in volts.[1] It measures the potential energy of an electric field to cause an electric current in an electrical conductor. Depending on the difference of electrical potential it is called extra low voltage, low voltage, high voltage or extra high voltage. Specifically Voltage is equal to energy per unit charge.

i agree with u this is written on basic physic book

what is voltage ?

The voltage is the amount of engery needed to move a 1Q chrage from place a to place b

Re: what is voltage ?

hi
voltage is ∫E.dl on a curve in which E represents the electric field.Voltage in this way is defined only for static fields.
