Voltagram

Voltagram is a term that refers to a unit of electrical potential difference, commonly known as a volt. The prefix "gram" in this context is a misnomer and likely stems from an archaic or informal usage, as it is not a standard scientific prefix. The standard unit for electric potential is the volt, symbolized by V, and named after the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta. A volt represents the electric potential difference between two points of a conductor when an electric current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power between those points. The term "voltagram" does not appear in standard scientific literature or metrology and is not recognized by international measurement bodies like the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM). It is possible that "voltagram" was a term used in early electrical experimentation or in specific educational contexts that did not gain widespread adoption. For all practical and scientific purposes, the correct and universally accepted unit is the volt.
