They are measures of different things. A watt is the standard unit of measurement of electrical power. You would state the brightness of a light bulb in terms of watts. A volt is a unit of measurement of force, or pressure, in an electrical circuit. You would describe the current coming through a wire in terms of volts. These definitions are from the TechEncyclopedia at http://www.techweb.com. I added the examples.

no.


A 60-watt 120 volt lamp requires morecurrrent than a 40 watt 120 volt lamp?

Yes. A 60W bulb has a higher resistance than the 40W buld. The extra resistance requires more current to light up the bulb. The fillament then glows brighter.


Can a 140 watt stereo power 150 watt speakers?

Yes, the speakers (150W) can handle more power than the stereo (140W) can produce. If it were the other way around (stereo more powerful than speakers), that's when you burn out your speakers.

What is more powerful a 1000 watt motor or a 220 volt motor?

Apples and oranges. You need to compare power ratings to power ratings, not power rating to voltage rating. The bigger one (probably) wins.


How many watt of 220 volt will get by convering inverter from 200 Watt 12 volt?

Probably about 180 watts, assuming 90% efficiency.


Is a 230 volt motor cheaper to run than a 115 volt?

Yes, a 230 volt motor is generally more efficient and cheaper to run compared to a 115 volt motor. Higher voltage motors are more energy efficient because they draw less current, resulting in lower energy costs over time.


Can you use a 10 watt 12 volt instead of a 5 watt?

Yes, you can use a 10 watt 12 volt bulb instead of a 5 watt bulb as long as the fixture can handle the higher wattage. Just be aware that the 10 watt bulb will be brighter and may generate more heat, so ensure there is proper ventilation and that the fixture can handle the increased power load.
