One unit in electricity meter consumes how many watts of power?

A standard unit of electricity that is the minimum charged is a kWh. Therefore 1 unit of electricity is equal to 1000watts being used for an hour. eg. A 100w light bulb burning for 10 hours would use 1 kWh which equals 1 unit.
Answer
A 'unit' is short for 'Board of Trade Unit', a government organisation that used to regulate the cost of electrical energy in Britain. A 'unit' is exactly equivalent to a kilowatt hour. Further to your question, though, you do not 'consume power'; you consume 'energy'. So, asking how much power (watts) is consumed by energy (unit) makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
A unit or kilowatt hour is defined as 'the amount of energy consumed, over a period of one hour, at the rate of one kilowatt'.

What unit of electricity measures is used to measure the power consumption of a device?
The kilowatt hour (KWHr) measures electricity use.
Does an electric stove consumes more electricity than an air conditioner?
The fan motor takes a lot less power than the compressor pump in an air conditioner. If you have a plug-in system you can use a plug-in "Kill-a-Watt�" meter (for around 25 dollars) to measure the watts (or amps) in each mode and determine how much power each one uses.
What are two measures of electricity?
Work and Time; Power = Work/Time
Which consumes more power 480 volts or 240 volts?
Volts isn't power. Volts times amps is power, also known as watts. Thus 480 volts at 2 amps consumes 960 watts, which is the same power usage of 240 volts at 4 amps or 120 volts at 8 Amps.
