One volt is the potential difference between two points in a current-carrying conductor when 1 joule of work is done to move a charge of 1 coulomb from one point to the other.
One volt is defined as the electric potential difference between two points when one joule of work is done per coulomb of charge moved between them. It quantifies the energy transfer and electric force experienced by a charge in an electric field. Mathematically, 1 volt (V) is equivalent to 1 joule (J) of work done per 1 coulomb (C) of charge:
1 V = 1 J/C
This definition emphasizes the relationship between electric potential difference and the energy required to move electric charge, providing a fundamental unit in the International System of Units (SI).
