Rationale for change
Not quite a precise definition. Voltage is in measured in either electric potential energy per unit charge (J/C) or electric potential between two points (V)

"The electric potential difference or voltage V is defined as the change in electric potential energy per unit charge", per UWorld.
"Electric potential is defined as the ratio of the magnitude of a charge’s electric potential energy to the magnitude of the charge itself", per Kaplan.
Voltage may also be referred to as potential difference or electric potential difference, depending on source.
The greater the voltage, the greater the flow of electrical current
