1,000 × 1,000 (13 KB) Wizard346: It is correctly represented with an E, since the scientific reference to voltage is Electromotive force. Reverted to version as of 03:08, 14 August 2012 (UTC) 03:18, 25 March 2016: 1,000 × 1,000 (13 KB) Cam1000100: changed "E" for Volts to "V" for Volts: 03:08, 14 August 2012: 1,000 × 1,000 (13 KB) Theundecided
At that time, the volt was defined as the potential difference [i.e., what is nowadays called the "voltage (difference)"] across a conductor when a current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power. The "international volt" was defined in 1893 as 1 ⁄ 1.434 of the emf of a Clark cell.
Moreover, similar types of apparatus will have the impedances lying within a narrow numerical range when expressed as a per-unit fraction of the equipment rating, even if the unit size varies widely. Conversion of per-unit quantities to volts, ohms, or amperes requires a knowledge of the base that the per-unit quantities were referenced to.
For example, a meter with a sensitivity of 1000 ohms per volt would draw 1 milliampere at full scale voltage; if the full scale was 200 volts, the resistance at the instrument's terminals would be 200 000 ohms and at full scale, the meter would draw 1 milliampere from the circuit under test. For multi-range instruments, the input resistance ...

Ohm's law is satisfied when the graph is a straight line through the origin. Therefore, the two resistors are ohmic, but the diode and battery are not. For many materials, the current I through the material is proportional to the voltage V applied across it: over a wide range of voltages and currents. Therefore, the resistance and conductance ...
AVOmeter model 9: Essentially similar to model 8 but with international symbols rather than letter markings for the DC and AC switches (Basic ranges to 10 A and 3000 V). 20,000 ohms/volt DC, 1000 ohms/volt AC. [22] (The features of the Models 8 and 9 were combined from the Model 8 Mark V of 1972, when the Model 9 was discontinued).
