The real Watt's law is a hypothesis that states the sum of the latent heat of steam at any temperature of generation and the heat required to raise water from 0°C to that temperature is constant. It has been proven to be incorrect.

However electricity amateurs and even some instructors often incorrectly describe Watt's Law as stating P=VI (or P=IE). This is actually called "Power Law". The term "Watt's Law" should not be used here.

What instrument measures watts?

A wattmeter measures the amount of electrical power in watts being consumed by a device or circuit. It typically consists of a current and voltage measurement component to calculate the power in watts.


How do you calculate the power used by a component when the potential difference is measured as 2.5volts and current is 0.2?

You need to know the resistance. Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage (in volts) divided by resistance (in ohms).

For how long a battery of 20watts can give backup to a load of 5watts 2?

watts is an instantaneous measurement of energy. There is no time component. If you can produce 20 watts, then you can power exactly 20 watts for as long as that is being produced. If you have a 20 watt hour battery, you should be able to power a load requiring 5 watts for (20/5 =) 4 hours.
