What is the difference between in Watt for Power and Ampere in current?

What is the difference between a watt and an amp?


Watts Vs Amp
  • The big difference between the two though as watts are a comprehensive measurement of power while amps are just the quantity of current being drawn.
  • The amount of power can vary with the voltage.
  • Multiplication of Current in amps & source of the voltage is nothing but the power in watts.
  • For current measurement, we used Ammeter in series with circuit & for wattage purpose, we multiply voltage from the source & Current value from Ammeter.

     Summary

  • Amps are the unit of current flow, while Watts is the unit for power
  • Amps, when multiplied by voltage, equates to Watts
  • Measuring amps is much easier compared to measuring watts
  • Amps are applicable only to electricity while watts is can be used for other forms of energy
