Electricity
is the movement of charge from atom to atom, which
forms a current. This current flows much the same
way water does through a hose. Electricity is measured
in volts, amps and watts. Amps measure the amount
of electric current, similar to the amount of water
flowing through a hose. Volts measure the force of
that current. Watts measure the amount of work done
by a certain amount of current at a certain force.

watt = 1 amp x 1 volt
1 amp = 1 watt/1volt |
