Definition:Volt/Base Units

Definition
The SI base units of the volt are:


 * $\mathrm V := \mathrm {kg} \, \mathrm m^2 \mathrm s^{-3} \mathrm A^{-1}$

where:
 * $\mathrm {kg}$ denotes kilograms
 * $\mathrm m$ denotes metres
 * $\mathrm s$ denotes seconds (of time).
 * $\mathrm A$ denotes ampere.

This arises from its definition as:
 * $\mathrm J \, \mathrm C^{-1}$, that is: joules per coulomb

which is also presentable as:
 * $\mathrm W \, \mathrm A^{-1}$, that is: watts per ampere.
