The rating of any electrical appliance or piece of electrical equipment is calculated in watts because the watt is the international unit for power.
The electrical power of a purely resistive load is calculated using the Power Equation:
Power (watts) = Voltage (volts) x Current (amps)
For a reactive load - such as an ac electric motor - the Power Equation has to be modified to allow for its Power Factor:
Power (watts) = Voltage (volts) x Current (amps) x Power Factor

What is a word for unit of power?
A "watt" is a derived unit of power.
Is a watt a light bulb?
A 60 watt light bulb is a light bulb with 60 watts capacity. When talking about watts, you're talking about the power that is transferred from the appliance to the accessories. Therefore, the light bulb labeled "60 watts" takes 60 watts to light up. A 60 watt light bulb will not be as bright as a 120 watt light bulb.
Is a watt a unit of power or a unit of electrical energy?
Watt is a unit of power. 1 Watt = 1 Joule/second; joule is the unit for energy.
What starting with w is a unit of eletrical power?
Watt.
What is the SL unit of power?
I don't know about SL. If you mean SI, the unit of power is the watt (equal to joules/second).
What is a word for unit of power?
A "watt" is a derived unit of power.
If a lamp bulb is rated at 100 watt why is a time factor not in the rating?
The wattage rating of a lamp bulb is a measure of the power it consumes, not the duration it operates for. The rating tells you how much power the bulb will use when it is in operation, but it does not provide information about how long the bulb will last before needing to be replaced.
Does a high watt bulb give more energy than a low watt bulb?
More watts means it uses more energy per second (watt is a unit of power). If it is a light-bulb of the same type of technology, the higher-watt light bulb would also give off more light.
What is the volt of a zero watt bulb?
A zero watt bulb does not consume any power, so it does not have a voltage rating. Voltage is a measure of electrical potential difference, typically associated with the amount of energy transferred per unit charge. In the case of a zero watt bulb, there is no power being consumed, so there is no voltage required to power it.
What is the maximum power consumption of a 120 watt bulb?
The maximum power consumption of a 120 watt bulb is 120 watts.
Is a watt a light bulb?
A 60 watt light bulb is a light bulb with 60 watts capacity. When talking about watts, you're talking about the power that is transferred from the appliance to the accessories. Therefore, the light bulb labeled "60 watts" takes 60 watts to light up. A 60 watt light bulb will not be as bright as a 120 watt light bulb.
Is a watt a unit of power or a unit of electrical energy?
Watt is a unit of power. 1 Watt = 1 Joule/second; joule is the unit for energy.
What is the SI unit and symbol for power?
The SI unit for power is the watt, symbolized as W.
When did James watt invent light bulb?
James Watt did not invent the light bulb. Thomas Edison is regarded by most people to have invented it. There were other similar ideas to the light bulb before Edison, however, it was his superior design and set up of entire electrical lighting systems that brought fame and popularity to his bulb. James Watt, is responsible for giving us the unit of measuring power that is his name (watt). The unit is derived by extending on Ohms law, to include that Voltage (e) times Amperage (i) = power.
What is the different between a 100 watt bulb and a 60 watt bulb?
40 watts of consumed power. The light output may be greater with one compared to the other, but wattage alone does not give us that information. Electric heaters, for example, consume 1500 watts of power and produce almost no visible light.Check the Lumen's. That is where the difference is.Current draw and light output.A 60 watt bulb uses 60 watts of electricity (i.e. it converts 60 joules of energy per second), a 100 watt bulb converts 100 joules per second. Electrical power is measured in watts. Since a 60 watt bulb pulls less energy to it than a 100 watt bulb the 60 watt bulb will not be as bright.Resistance.Just in the amount of power used and the brightness of the bulb. The 60 watt bulb might be a bit smaller.
What SI unit is used to express power?
the answer for the si unit of power is the watt or w
Is watt a unit of energy?
Joule is a unit of energyWatt is a unit of power
