  "term": "Voltage",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The electric potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit, representing the work required per unit charge to move a test charge between these points. In electroanalytical chemistry, it is often applied across an electrochemical cell to drive reactions or measure current responses. Voltage is measured in volts (V).",
