What is a watt?
The watt is a unit of power. It is a Newton meter per second, or can be given as a joule per second. We often encounter it in electrical calculations, and it is the unit of po…wer for applications there. The formula for power is given here: P = I x E In this expression, the power (P) in watts is equal to the current (I) in amps (or amperes, if you prefer) times the voltage (E) in volts. Links can be found below for more information. I think you're asking what is a watt. A watt is a measurement of power, and the simplest example of a watt would be the amount of power that you would have if you had one volt at one amp of current. Or, to put it another way, 1 volt X 1 Amp=1 Watt. To go further, 12 volts at 1 amp equals 12 watts. This is for direct current measurement. For AC voltage, it varies in that you would multiply the volts by .707 (AC RMS voltage), then multiply by the amps to get your watts total. (MORE)

What is the Watt-hour to watt conversion?
It's unfortunate that both of these units include the same word "watt". That gives the impression that one can be converted into the other. These two units are used for me…asuring different quantities. They have different physical dimensions, and neither one can be converted to the other. (One hint that this is so is the fact that they have different names.) The "watt" is a unit of power. It measures how fast energy is being transferred. It's equal to one joule of energy per second. The "watt-hour" is a unit of energy. It's equal to the amount of energy transferred in an hour at the rate of one joule per second. So it's equal to 3,600 joules of energy. The rate at which energy is transferred can't be converted into the amount of energy that's transferred, just as the speed of your car can't be converted into the distance you drive. (MORE)
