Watt

What Is a Watt?

A watt is a way to measure how much power something has. Think of power like how fast a toy car goes or how bright a flashlight shines. One watt means one tiny bit of energy is used every second.

Who Is James Watt?

The watt is named after James Watt, a clever Scottish inventor. Long ago, he made steam engines work better. These engines helped change how people did work and live.

Why Do We Use Watts?

We use watts to talk about how much power things need. For example, a small laser pointer uses just a few milliwatts. Big machines, like those in buildings, can use kilowatts or even megawatts. This helps us understand how much energy we use every day.
