Watt (Audio Technology)

A unit of power. A 200 watt amplifier can make the walls shake pretty well.

Watt (Cell Phone)

A watt is a basic unit of power. The formula is: voltage multiplied by the current.

Watt (Cellular)

A watt is a basic unit of power. The formula is: voltage multiplied by the current.

Watt (Construction)

A measure of the electrical requirement of an appliance calculated by multiplying the voltage times the amperage. For example: a 150 watt light bulb which uses 110 volt power needs a little less than 1 amp (110 volts X 1 amp= 110 watts).

Watt (Dam)

A measure of the rate at which energy is produced, exchanged, or consumed.

Watt (Electric Motors)

The amount of power required to maintain a current of one ampere at a pressure of one volt. Most motors are rated in Kwatt equal to 1,000 watts. One horsepower is equal to 746 watts.

Watt (Energy)

A unit of measure of electric power at a point in time, as capacity or demand. One watt of power maintained over time is equal to one joule per second. Some Christmas tree lights use one watt. The Watt is named after Scottish inventor James Watt and is capitalized when shortened to w and used with other abbreviations, as in kWh.

Watt (Exercise)

Measurement of the power output for a piece of equipment.

Watt (Explosives)

A unit of electrical power equal to 1 joule/sec.

Watt (Fish)

A measure of the rate at which energy is produced, exchanged, or consumed.

Watt (Home Theater)

A unit of power or energy. One horsepower is equal to 745.7 watts.

Watt (Lighting)

A unit of electrical power.

Watt (Physical Geography)

A metric unit of measurement of the intensity of radiation in Watts over a square meter surface (W/m2 or W m-2).

Watt (Plumbing)

A unit of electrical energy or power. One ampere x one volt equals one watt.

Watt (Satellite Meteorology)

A unit of power or energy per unit time.

Watt (Science)

A unit of energy equal to about 860 calories. Amounts of electricity produced are counted in kilowatts (thousands of watts).

Watt (Solar Energy)

The rate of energy transfer equivalent to one ampere under an electrical pressure of one volt. One watt equals 1/746 horsepower, or one joule per second. It is the product of voltage and current (amperage).

Watt (Uk Power)

A measure of real power production or usage equal to one Joule per second. The rate of energy transfer equivalent to 1 ampere flowing under a pressure of 1 volt

Watt (Wind Energy)

One Joule of electrical energy per second. In DC circuits, Watts=Volts * Amps. In AC circuits, Watts=Volts * Amps * the cosine of the phase angle. See also Volt-Amp.
