Italian Government Seeks to Rename International Unit of Electric Potential
Share:
The Italian government under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has proposed renaming the international unit of electric potential to include the missing letter "a" at the end. The unit "volt" was named in its anglicized form after Alessandro Volta, the Italian inventor of the electric battery and discoverer of methane. The government wants the unit to reflect the complete Italian spelling of the scientist's name.
