    Watt, unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one joule of work performed per second, or to 1746 horsepower. An equivalent is the power dissipated in an electrical conductor carrying one ampere current between points at one volt potential difference. It is named in honour.

    The watt is a measure of the rate of energy transfer over a unit of time, with one watt equal to one joule (J) per second: W = J/s. A joule is the standard unit of energy or work in the SI standard, which defines the joule in terms of kilograms, meters and seconds: J = kg∙m 2 ∙s-2

    By definition, one watt is equal to one joule of work done per second. So if P represents power in watts, Δ E is the change in energy (number of joules) and Δ t is the time taken in seconds then: P = Δ E Δ t. There is also another unit of power which is still widely used: the horsepower.
