VOLT, a mild silky cotton.

VOLT (Volta) Alessandro (1745-1827), italian physics and the physiologist, one of founders of the doctrine about an electricity. Has created the first chemical current source (1800, the voltaic pile). Has discovered a contact potential difference.

VOLT the ELEMENT, a galvanic cell, for which positive electrode - a copper plate, negative - zinc, an electrolyte - a solution of Sodium chloridum or sulfuric acid; electromotive force of 1,0 Century A.Voltoj Is offered.

The VOLT-AMPERE, SI unit of total power of an electric circuit alternating-current, i.e. power of an electric circuit at effective values of current intensity 1 And and pressure of 1 Century Is meant V·A. Consider also the active power expressed in watts, and a reactive power expressed in pitches.

E-I CHARACTERISTIC, relation of pressure to a current (or a current from pressure) on a circuit portion; expresses routinely by the way the schedule or the table.

VOLTAMPEROMETRIJA, set of electrochemical methods of the quantitative and a qualitative analysis, is based on definition of relation between current intensity and polarization potential at an electrolysis of a solution or a melt of studied substance.
