'Hz' is the symbol for 'hertz', the SI unit for frequency -equivalent to a 'cycle per second'. The frequency of your supply is 50 Hz in Europe, or 60 Hz in North America.
The 'watt' is the SI unit for power, which is the rate at which your electrical appliances use energy.

Difference between FREQUENCY 50 Hz 60 Hz?
10 Hz 10 Hz
What is dsadvantages of having 50 Hz supply over 60 Hz supply?
There is no inherent disadvantage of 50 Hz compared with 60 Hz, bearing in mind that systems that run at 50 Hz are designed to run at 50 Hz.
What is the Hz rating on 100 Amp household service?
60 Hz in North America, 50 Hz in Europe.
What is the difference between power and current?
It's the difference between pressure and flow. The pressure is measured in volts, and the current in amps.Current is the flow of electrons.Power=VIcosϕV=voltageI=currentCosϕ=cosine of angle between V and IAnswerCurrent is a drift of electric charge, expressed in amperes. Power is the rate of doing work, expressed in watts (equivalent to a joule per second).
Why you use 400Hz frequency instead of 60Hz?
50 Hz has an edge over 60 Hz as it will have less skin effect and therefore line resistance will be less. Therefore, voltage drop as well as unwanted loss of energy in the line will be less. That means dip in supply voltage at user end will be less and efficiency will be more.AnswerThe difference in 'AC resistance' due to the effect of skin effect between 50/60 Hz is insignificant, just as the increase in inductive reactance, or the decrease in capacitive reactance is insignificant.The answer to your question is that the two frequencies simply resulted from the independent development of electricity distribution networks in different parts of the world, and there is no inherent advantage of one frequency of the other.Transformers for 60 Hz are smaller than for 50 Hz, assuming a given power rating. That is because the iron magnetic core can be reduced in size by 20% for 60 Hz, for the same peak magnetic flux density.
Difference between FREQUENCY 50 Hz 60 Hz?

How do you convert Hz to Watts?
You cant. Hz measures frequency, where as Watts is a measurement of power.
How many watts are in 60hz?
There are 1350 watts in a 60 hz bulb. There is a push not for everyone to transfer to led bulbs.
What is the difference between the sound waves and ultrasound?
Difference is in their frequency, audible sound waves is between 12 Hz and 20,000 Hz, Ultrasound waves is any sound that has a frequency beyond the 20,000 Hz limit
What is the difference between using 100 watts for 2 hours or 50 watts for 4 hours?
In theory, no difference.
What it is the difference between 100 watts and 75 watt light bulb?
25 watts?
How many watts is a 60 hz microwave?
1200
Is 50 Hz the same as 50W?
no, Hertz (Hz) is a measure of frequency, Watts (W) is a measure of power.
What is a difference between vollage and watt?
Watts = Volts / Ohms Watts = Volts x Amps
What is 250 hz converted to watts?
There is no way to convert 250 hz into Watts. Hertz refers to the frequency (cycles) of a signal. A Watt is a unit of power dissipation. No relationship . . . no conversion!
What's the difference between 60hz and 60 htz in TVs?
hz or more correctly Hz is a unit of frequency meaning cycles per secondhtz is a common misspelling of Hz
What is the difference between Hz and kHz?
The 'k' in kHz probably stands for kilo, meaning a thousand times Hz, like kilogram and gram.
