**Watt** and **Volt** are both units used in electricity, but they measure different things.
### 1. **Volt (V)**
- A **Volt** is a unit of **electrical potential**. It measures the "pressure" that pushes electric charges through a conductor (like a wire).
- You can think of it like water pressure in a hose. The higher the voltage, the stronger the "push" that moves the electricity.
- It’s similar to how high a hill is (potential energy), where the electricity moves from higher voltage to lower voltage.
### 2. **Watt (W)**
- A **Watt** is a unit of **power**. It measures how much work is being done by the electricity.
- Power is the rate at which energy is used or produced. For example, a 100-watt light bulb uses 100 watts of power.
- A Watt is equal to **1 Volt × 1 Ampere**. This means power depends on both the voltage (pressure) and the current (flow of electricity).
### How they are connected:
- To get power (in watts), you multiply the **voltage (V)** by the **current (A)** flowing in a circuit:
**Power (W) = Voltage (V) × Current (A)**
**Example:**
If you have a 10V battery and a current of 2A, the power being used would be:
**Power = 10V × 2A = 20W**
In simple terms:
- **Volt** is like the pressure that pushes electricity.
- **Watt** is the power that tells you how much energy is being used or produced.
Does that make sense?
