1 watt is a unit of power. It measures the rate at which energy is used or produced. Specifically:
- 1 watt is equal to 1 joule of energy per second.
- In electrical terms, 1 watt is the power when 1 ampere of current flows through a component with a voltage of 1 volt.
So, if you have an electrical device that uses 1 watt, it means that device is using or generating energy at a rate of 1 joule every second.
To put it in simpler terms, think of it like a small light bulb. A typical LED light bulb might use around 5 watts of power, while a regular incandescent bulb could use 60 watts. So, 1 watt is a very small amount of power.
