Question

What is the real difference between watt and volt in term of electricity?

Answer 1

watt is defined as a unit of power i.e. the rate of doing work.When you divide work by current,you get voltage &volt is nothing, but just its unit.

Answer 2

The watt (symbol: W) is the SI derived unit of power, equal to one joule of energy per second. It measures a rate of energy use or production

The volt is defined as the potential difference across a conductor when a current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power.

Answer 3

Watt is the unit of power, rate at which enegy is consumed.

Volt is the energy per unit electric charge called 'Coulomb'. It is the work done in bringing that charge from one point to another. Then the potential difference between these two is said to be 1 volt.

1 Watt = 1 Volt X 1 Ampere

If the domestic power supply is 225 volts and the current drawn is 4.444 amperes, then as per the above formula the wattage (power consumption or energy consumption per second) is 1000 watts.

Answer 4

WATT is the rate at which energy is being used ..

and VOLT is the Energy difference between two points

Answer 5

First response is correct -- but not very helpful.  A watt is a unit of power -- a rate of performing work.  A volt is a measure of potential difference, and when multiplied by a current flow gives watts.
