From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
voltage          (Or "potential difference", "electro-motive       force" (EMF)) A quantity measured as a signed difference       between two points in an electrical circuit which, when       divided by the {resistance} in {Ohms} between those points,       gives the current flowing between those points in {Amperes},       according to {Ohm's Law}.   Voltage is expressed as a signed       number of Volts (V).   The voltage gradient in Volts per metre       is proportional to the force on a charge.          Voltages are often given relative to "earth" or "ground" which       is taken to be at zero Volts.   A circuit's earth may or may       not be electrically connected to the actual earth.          The voltage between two points is also given by the charge       present between those points in {Coulombs} divided by the       {capacitance} in {Farads}.   The capacitance in turn depends on       the {dielectric constant} of the insulators present.          Yet another law gives the voltage across a piece of circuit as       its {inductance} in {Henries} multiplied by the rate of change       of current flow through it in Amperes per second.          A simple analogy likens voltage to the pressure of water in a       pipe.   Current is likened to the amount of water (charge)       flowing per unit time.          (1995-12-04)
