You asked the question by using voltage in your question.
So here is the simple answer from the perspective of electricity.
Watts is a measure of power.
It is a simple equation V x A.
That is jargon for Volts times Amps.
That is different jargon for Potential Energy times the Current Flowing.
So a 12 volt supply like in your car, delivering 5 Amps to say a small in car TV is using 60 watts.
In your home a 60 watt bulb is being driven from your 110 volt supply and so is (in theory) only drawing about half an Amp
(0.5454 Amps recurring for decimal number fans).
Or 110 Volts x 0.54 Amps = 59.4 Watts
Watts is named after James Watt who made steam engines long before the domestic electric supply or in car TV was around.
So beware ! Watts is a measure of power.
Not just electrical power.
The equation above is true only really for DC power supplies (like a flashlight battery or maybe your car battery).
There are other definitions using good scientific phrases like Joules and energy conversion.
But as you asked in Volts, here is a simple answer.

Why does the C 14 C 12 ratio change with time in fossils?
An organism stops taking in carbon when it dies.
What is bigger 12 feet or 4 yards?
They are not same because 12 meter is bigger than 120 centimeter, 12 meter equals to 1200 and 120 centimeter converted into meter equals 1.2 meter and if it is converted into centimeter it is 120 centimeter, thus they are not same because 12 meter is bigger than 120 centimeter.
Do the same wattage light bulb have different resistance?
Yes. The resistance of a globe depends not only on the wattage of it but also on the voltage. A 12 V Globe would has a quarter the resistance of a 24 volt globe for the same wattage. (when alight)
Can you plug 110 volt appliance into 12 volt?
NO
Can we run a 110 volt 100 watt DC motor with 12 volt 5 amp power is the same so it should run?
Sorry, won't work. You need a 110 volt supply.
Can you hook up a 12-110 volt inverter to a house socket?
No, you can not hook up a 12-110 volt inverter to a house socket.
What volt battery does your 110 cu in rev tech engine requrie?
12 volt
What wattage 12 volt inverter do you need to drive a 240 volt quarter horsepower pump motor?
You need to find the wattage of the pump motor. This is found by multiplying the voltage of the motor by the amperage of the motor. Once you have this figure use it to find an inverter that can handle this wattage load at a 240 volt output.
How do you get a 12 volt pm alternator to give you 110 volt ac?
Purchase a power inverter.
How many amps does a 12 volt light draw?
Have to know the wattage or resistance of the lamp to answer this question.
110 volt ac car alternator?
I hope not, it'll cook the 12 volt DC system.
How do you convert 24 volt trailer lights to 12 volt?
All you have to do is change the bulbs to 12 volts and supply the trailer with a 12 volt power source. If you leave the original 24 volt bulb in the trailer they will only glow at 1/2 of their rated wattage.
