A watt is a measure of power, and a volt is a measure of electrical potential difference.

A watt is a volt times an amp. Said another way, power (P, given in watts) is equal to current (I, given in amps) times voltage (E, given in volts). The formula is given here:

P = I x E

Volts are a unit of measurement for the potential difference between two points. Amps are a unit for measuring the current flowing between those two points. Potential difference is just a condition for a current to flow.

watt - The International System (IS) measurement of power. It is equal to 1 joule per 1 second.

ohm - The IS measurement of electric resistance. It is volts/amps, or power/current.

volt - The IS measurement of electric potential or voltage. It is watts divided by amps, or power divided by current.

amp - Short for ampere; the IS measurement of electric current. It is about 1 coulomb per second.
