What are the differences between a joule and a watt?

Joules versus wattsThe joule and the watt are closely related units. The joule is a unit of work and energy. It is equal to a newton-meter (N-m). Note that the unit of torque is also the newton-meter, but scientists don't use the word joule when they are talking about torque.The watt is a unit of power and is defined as a joule per second, so you can see that power is work per unit time.One joule is equal to one watt-second.


Why is it important to reduce electrical energy wastage?

To save resources: If you have a product that uses 100 Watt electricity you have a power cable (transport way) that has a loss of 100 Watt and at the end a power station that losses 100 W. Because nothing is 100 % efficient... That means to use 100 Watt in your home, there will be used 300 Watt somewhere out here in the world. Tools that produce too much energy wastage instead of doing what they are meant to do, have a negative impact on the ecosystem. So with every 10 Watt you save - you save 30 Watt!


Is the rate at which work is done is known as power?

Power describes the rate/speed of the work that is being done.


How much heat does one watt produce?

About one watt of heat. A 1500 watt heater will warm a 400 square foot room in the winter months. one watt is a very small volume of heat.AnswerHeat is measured in joules. A watt is equivalent to a joule per second. So your answer is that a watt produces one joule of heat every second.

Is the term watts named after James Watt?

The guy that descovered the formula for power (work/time = power) had the last name "watt"AnswerIn SI, compound units are frequently given special names. For example, the coulomb is a special name given to an ampere second.Power is the rate at which energy is supplied and, so, its compound unit is the joule per second. Under SI, this is given the special name, 'watt', in honour of a Scottish engineer, James Watt.

Who was the most important inventor of Industrial Revolution?

So many come to mind that it is almost impossible to pick one alone. Considering that steam was used to drive the results of a lot of invention it is hard to go past James Watt's enormous improvements to the steam engine. Perhaps there were more refined or better engineered inventions but since the question is most important I would say James Watt.

What was James watt childhood?

James Watt was born February 19, 1736 and died on August 19, 1889. As a child he was often sick. This kept James out of school. His mother had to teach him how to read and write. James suffered from severe headaches, so many people thought he was retarded. Little did they know that this child that most people didn't consider normal would lead America to one of the most important stages in The Industrial Revolution. He worked as a mathematical-instrument maker from the age of 19 and soon became interested in improving the steam engines, invented by the engineers Thomas Savery and Thomas Newcomen, which were used at the time to pump water from mines. Watt was determined to improve The Newcomen steam engine.
