  Voltage, electric potential difference, electric pressure or electric tension (formally denoted ∆V or ∆U, but more often simply as V or U) is the difference in electric potential between two points. Voltage is measured in units of volts - in honor of the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta. The voltage between two points is equal to the work done per unit of charge against a static electric field to move a test charge between two points. A voltage may represent either a source of energy (electromotive force) or lost, used, or stored energy (potential drop). A voltmeter can be used to measure the voltage (or potential difference) between two points in a system; often a common reference potential such as the ground of the system is used as one of the points. Electric potential differences between points can be caused by static electric fields, by electric current through a magnetic field, by time-varying magnetic fields, or some combination of these three.

  Tensão elétrica (denotada por ∆V), também conhecida como diferença de potencial (DDP), é a diferença de potencial elétrico entre dois pontos ou a diferença em energia potencial elétrica por unidade de carga elétrica entre dois pontos. Sua unidade de medida é o volt – homenagem ao físico italiano Alessandro Volta. A diferença de potencial é igual ao trabalho que deve ser feito, por unidade de carga contra um campo elétrico para se movimentar uma carga qualquer. Uma diferença de potencial pode representar tanto uma fonte de energia (força eletromotriz), quanto pode representar energia "perdida" ou armazenada (queda de tensão). Um voltímetro pode ser utilizado para se medir a DDP entre dois pontos em um sistema, sendo que usualmente um ponto referencial comum é a terra. A tensão elétrica pode ser causada por campos elétricos estáticos, por uma corrente elétrica sob a ação de um campo magnético, por campo magnético variante ou uma combinação de todos os três
