Question:

What is the difference between Watts and Volts in electricity?

Answer:

Albert Smith, Expert of Electricians Service Team

Watts and Volts are distinct units used in electricity, each representing different aspects of electrical systems. Volts (V) measure electrical potential or voltage, indicating the force that drives electric current. They signify the pressure or strength of the electrical flow within a circuit. In contrast, Watts (W) denote power, quantifying the rate of energy transfer or work done per unit time. They gauge the actual energy consumed or produced by devices, appliances, or electrical systems. While Volts measure the potential, Watts assess the actual power utilized or generated, highlighting the difference between the force behind electricity and its actual energy usage.
