Volt: The (electrical) potential difference between two
points in a circuit. The fundamental unit is derived as
work per unit charge
(V=W/Q). One volt is the
potential difference required to move one coulomb of
charge between two points in a circuit while using one
joule of energy.

Zero voltage switching: The making or breaking of circuit
timed such that the transition occurs when the voltage
waveform crosses zero voltage; typically it is only found
in solid state switching devices.
