And why the hell use E for volts? Not only would V be clearer, E is
also used as electric field strength (V/m)

Maybe it was because E is what is used in his old Physics, and elementary
Electrical Engineering text books. (It is also the character use in FCC
Amateur Examinations.)

When I went through the US Navy's "Electronics Technician Class-A" school .
.. . lessee, that was 46 years ago (!!!), they told us the "E" was for
Electromotive Force.
