volt·age (v

Electromotive force or potential difference, usually expressed in volts.

voltage

[vō′tij]

Etymology: Alessandro Volta

an expression of electromotive force in terms of volts.

voltage [vōl´tij]

electromotive force measured in volts.

voltage,

n the potential of electromotive force of an electric charge, measured in volts.

voltage

electromotive force measured in volts. In radiographic equipment it is important that there be no variation in the voltage supplied to the x-ray tube. The voltage supplied to the x-ray tube is controlled by a kilovoltage selector.
