Gigawatts

watt (W) (waht) the SI unit of power, being the work done at the rate of 1 joule per second. In electric power, it is equivalent to a current of 1 ampere under a pressure of 1 volt.

watt (w

n. Abbr. W

A unit of power in the International System of Units equal to one joule per second.

watt (W)

[wot]

Etymology: James Watt, Scottish engineer, 1736-1819

the unit of electric power or work in the meter/kilogram/second system of notation. The watt is the product of the voltage and the amperage. One watt of power is dissipated when a current of 1 ampere flows across a difference in potential of 1 volt. See also ampere, current, ohm, volt.
