Define Volt or SI unit of electric potential

Volt: V (after A. Volta, 1745-1827): The derived SI unit of electric potential, stated as the difference of potential among the two points on a conductor fetching  a constant current of 1 A whenever the power dissipated between the points is 1 W; it therefore has unit of W/A.
