Differences Between Watt and Volt

Cloud Banner

Watt is the rate at which electrical work is performed when a current of one ampere flows across. The potential difference is volt.

Cloud Banner

The symbol of watt is W, whereas Volt's symbol is V.

Cloud Banner

The base unit of a watt is Kgm2S3, whereas the base unit of a volt is Kgm2A1S3.

Cloud Banner

When the internal power of a watt rises, the volt's internal electric potential increases, keeping the electric current constant.

Cloud Banner

When the watt's internal power reduces, the volt's internal electric potential reduces, keeping the electric current constant.
