Definition

  • $\ extit{Voltage}$, also referred to as $\ extit{Electric Tension}$, is the difference between electrical potentials of two points. For an electric field within a medium, $U_{ab} = - \\int_{r_a}^{r_b} E . {dr}$, where $E$ is electric field strength. For an irrotational electric field, the voltage is independent of the path between the two points $a$ and $b$.
