What is volt?

Answer:

volt, unit of electrical potential, potential difference and electromotive force in the metre–kilogram–second system (SI); it is equal to the difference in potential between two points in a conductor carrying one ampere current when the power dissipated between the points is one watt.

The volts (symbol V) measure the different potential energy that exists between one point and the other. The volts are thus named in honor of Alessandro Volta, the inventor of the battery.

Batteries move anions (negatively charged things) and cations (positively charged things) to opposite terminals, creating a voltage. Voltage is better expressed as electric potential.

Voltage is the electrical force that causes free electrons to move from one atom to another. Just as water needs some pressure to force it through a pipe, electrical current needs some force to make it flow. "Volts" is the measure of "electrical pressure" that causes current flow.
