Standard measure of electricity Amps X Volts = Watts A watt takes into account the amperage and voltage together 1300 watts is the highest legally in the US for one appliance on 110 volts
Unit of electrical power derived from the current (or "quantity" of electricity) multiplied by the voltage (or "pressure" at which the current is delivered) Stage lighting equipment is rated in Watts (or Kilowatts - 1 kW being equal to 1000W) This refers to the amount of power required to light the lamp A higher wattage lamp requires more power and gives a brighter light output
A quantitative measurement of electrical power Watts are calculated by multiplying volts times amps Using a liquid analogy, watts are similar to liquid flow such as liters or gallons (watts = volts x amps)
A unit of electrical power derived from the current (or quantity of electricity) multiplied by the voltage (or pressure at which the current is flowing)
The unit of measure of actual power Watts are the product of volts times current
Standard measure of electricity Amps X Volts = Watts A watt takes into account the amperage and voltage together 1300 watts is the highest legally in the US for one appliance on 110 volts
The power rating of a device or appliance is measured in watts (abbreviated to W) Anything over 1000W may be marked using the letter k to stand for one thousand, e g , 1 75kW equals 1750W
In the International System of Units, the derived unit of power; the power of a system in which one joule of energy is transferred per second. Symbol: W
born July 17, 1674, Southampton, Hampshire, Eng. died Nov. 25, 1748, Stoke Newington, London English Nonconformist minister, regarded as the father of English hymnody. Watts studied at the Dissenting Academy at Stoke Newington, London, and he later became pastor of Mark Lane Independent (i.e., Congregational) Chapel. His collections of sacred lyrics include Horae Lyricae (1706), Hymns and Spiritual Songs (1707), and The Psalms of David Imitated in the Language of the New Testament (1719). His hymns, numbering more than 600, became known throughout Protestant Christendom; they include "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," "O God, Our Help in Ages Past," "Joy to the World," and "Jesus Shall Reign." A man of great erudition, he published books on a range of subjects
born Aug. 30, 1794, Newark, N.J., U.S. died Oct. 31, 1848, St. Louis, Mo. U.S. Army officer. He served in the War of 1812 and later on the western frontier. At the outbreak of the Mexican War, he was ordered to seize New Mexico and California. Using diplomacy to persuade Mexican troops to withdraw, he marched unopposed to Santa Fe, where in 1846 he proclaimed a civil government for the province. Heading to California, he was informed that the conquest had already been completed by Robert F. Stockton and John C. Frémont. He arrived to discover that Mexican rebels had retaken most of the province. He then joined forces with Stockton to defeat the rebels in 1847. After initial opposition from Frémont, who had persuaded Stockton to appoint him governor, Kearny pacified the rest of California and established a stable civil government. He was then sent to Mexico, where he died of yellow fever
Scottish engineer and inventor whose improvements in the steam engine led to its wide use in industry (1736-1819) a unit of power equal to 1 joule per second; the power dissipated by a current of 1 ampere flowing across a resistance of 1 ohm
1) The electrical unit of power 2) The rate of energy transfer when one ampere is passing across one volt Analogous to horsepower or footpounds per minute of mechanical power (one horsepower is equivalent to approximately 746 watts; one kilowatt equals 1,000 watts; one megawatt equals 1,000,000 watts) A 100-watt light bulb requires 100 watts of electricity to operate
a unit of electrical power A watt of electrical power is the use of one joule of energy per second Watts of electrical power equals volts times amperes
(elec) (meas) A unit of power; power being the rate at which energy is used to do work The unit rate at which work is done in an electrical circuit One watt equals one JOULE of work per second Also equal to one ampere (amp) under a pressure of one VOLT Equal to 1/746 horsepower Named after the Scottish inventor James Watt Some Christmas tree lights use one watt F - watt S - vatio
The unit of measurement for electrical power, named after James Watt, an 18th century Scottish engineer One watt of power is dissipated when a voltage of one volt is applied across a load of one ohm resulting in one ampere of current in the circuit See POWER
A watt is a unit of measurement of electrical power. Use a 3 amp fuse for equipment up to 720 watts. a 100-watt lightbulb. British engineer and inventor who made fundamental improvements in the steam engine, resulting in the modern high-pressure steam engine (patented 1769). An International System unit of power equal to one joule per second. See table at measurement. a unit for measuring electrical power (James Watt)
The electrical unit of power The rate of energy transfer equivalent to 1 ampere of electric current flowing under a pressure of 1 volt at unity power factor
A measure of electrical power or amount of work done in a unit of time and equal to the rate of current flow (amps) multiplied by the voltage of that flow (volts) One amp of current flowing at a potential of one volt produces one watt of power
Unit of electrical power required to do work at the rate of one joule per second One watt of power is expended when one ampere of direct current flows through a resistance of one ohm The power capability of amplifiers and loudspeakers is given in watts, which relate to both the voltage driving the system and current handling capabilities of the devices
A common unit used in measuring power Power is defined as the flow of energy over time A watt is equivalent to 3 41 Btu/hour or one joule per second Where an "e" follows the unit (as in kwe or Mwe), the watt is in the form of electrical energy Where a "t" follows the unit (as in kwt or Mwt), the watt is in the form of thermal energy
The electrical unit of power or rate of doing work The rate of energy transfer equivalent to one ampere flowing under a potential of one volt at unity power factor
A unit of electrical power One watt is equivalent to the power represented by one ampere of current flowing through a load with a voltage drop of one volt in a dc circuit
The quantitative unit of measurement of actual power Actual power in an AC circuit is the measurement of the effective energy available for doing work, and is normally less than apparent power (volt-amperes) because of power factor considerations Watts may be measured directly, by means of a wattmeter, or may be calculated by multiplying volt-amperes by the power factor of the equipment
