Volt-Amp

A unit of apparent power. In AC circuits, the magnitude of the voltage across a circuit times the current through the circuit is the apparent power. Including a representation of the angle between the two waveforms in the form of power factor (see PF) yields the real power.

Voltage

A measure of electrical potential. Most homes are wired with 110 and 220 volt lines. The 110 volt power is used for lighting and most of the other circuits. The 220 volt power is usually used for the kitchen range, hot water heater and dryer. Amount of potential energy between two points on a circuit. Voltage the potential to do work, voltage is the ratio of the energy available to the charge, expressed in volts. The difference in electrical potential between any two conductors or between a conductor and ground.
