What is the difference between Watt, Voltage and Amps?
If you are experienced with electricity, don’t correct me. I’m simplifying this. Imagine a highway with cars on it, where the cars are the electricity, and the road is the wire. The voltage measures how many cars are on a single mile of the road at one time. The amperage measures how fast the cars are moving. When you multiply the voltage and amperage, you get wattage: Voltage * Amperage = Wattage If you know any two variables in the equation above, you can solve for the one you don’t know. Wattage is used because it tells how much electricity is being used all together. You can’t show how much electricity is being used by only saying how fast it is going (amperage). You also need to tell how much there is in a given area (voltage).
