Abstract
This work demonstrates error in the definition of voltage given in International Standards. This definition does not coincide with the quantity "practical voltage" measured by national standards laboratories. The physical arguments that show this also have implications for the theoretical understanding of patch fields and of electron emission from semiconductors.
