0V

0 Volts, the electricity return path for all electronic circuits.

Most sub-circuits that make up any form of electronics start from some positive voltage, pass through various components and end up connecting to 0V. Any voltage applied directly to 0 Volts is assumed to be a short circuit and should be avoided, so 5V and +V should never be connected directly to 0V. Also known as ground.
