The number of watts is not directly determined by volts alone—it's also dependent on the current (amperes) flowing through the circuit. To calculate watts, you use the formula:
$$
\text{Watts (W)} = \text{Volts (V)} \times \text{Amps (A)}
$$
So, **1 volt** by itself doesn't have a specific wattage until you know the current in the circuit.
For example:
* If 1 volt is applied across a resistor and the current is 1 amp, then the power would be:
$$
P = 1 \, \text{V} \times 1 \, \text{A} = 1 \, \text{Watt}
$$
* If the current is 2 amps, then:
$$
P = 1 \, \text{V} \times 2 \, \text{A} = 2 \, \text{Watts}
$$
So, volts alone don't give you a fixed power value; you need to know both voltage and current to calculate watts.
