The Watt is the unit for power in the SI system, defined as 1 Joule per second. A Joule is the work done in moving 1 meter against a force of 1 Newton. If you are not familiar with the metric system, you may like to know that 1 kilowatt (1000 watts) is equal to 1.341 horsepower. In electrical work the Watt is (volts x amps), that is the same quantity as 1 Joule/sec, which makes it easy in the metric system to work with mechanical and electrical quantities at the same time.
This question is invalid as a unit is a term meaning a specific quantity regarded as a standard of measurement and is not itself such a quantity.
AnswerThe question is not invalid, as the 'unit' is a measurement of energy. A unit is used by British electrical utility companies to measure energy consumption, and is short for 'Board of Trade Unit'. A 'unit' is equivalent to a kilowatt hour. A watt, on the hand, is used to measure power, not energy -so you cannot relate a unit to a watt.
In the UK, and probably elsewhere, one unit of electricity is one kilowatt hour (i.e. one kilowatt running for one hour).
A watt is a measurement of power, and power is equal to Fd/t, where F is force (newtons), d is distance (meters) and t is time (seconds)
So 1 watt is 1 newton-meter/second.
It was named after James Watt
There are 7 basic units
The SI [International System of Units] unit is the Watt [W] after James Watt, an Scottish scientist and inventor who worked on improving steam engines.The Watt is one Joule per second.

i think it is watt or bacon.i am 99percent sure about watt.
watt
Yes. 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second
Per hour the answer is 400 watt-hours or 0.4 kW-hours (or units).

The "watt" is. 1 watt = 1 joule per second.
no watt is a measurement of power where as if you meant joule that is a measurement of energy which are not the same thing
Watt , Joule/second , Volt.Ampere
No such formula exists. The units are incompatible.
