Volts, Amps, Watts - What Exactly Do They Mean?? 

Thanks for the kind words! Made my day!

Thanks for watching! And for the nice comment!

@@theinternetelectrician VOLTS = Water Pressure (50 psi)? AMPS = Water Flow Rate (ie. gallons per hour)? WATTS = Water Used (ie. gallons)? Volts x Amps = Watts? Water pressure multiply Flow Rate equals Water Usage? 50 psi x 1 gph (mist nozzle setting) = 1 g 50 psi x 2 gph (shower nozzle setting) = 2 g 50 psi x 4 gph (full nozzle setting) = 4 g Notice the gph always equals the final amount used. WATER: If 1 gallon of water flows passed (AMPS) a given point ("switch/valve") per hour then after one hour the bucket will have just one gallon of water (WATT?). But apparently in the world of electricity, AMPS and WATTS are NOT measured equally. So, why aren't AMPS (amount of electricity flowing passed a given point) equal to WATTS (amount of electricity used/expended)? What is the difference between AMPS and WATTS? What is the advantage of having two different names to measure electricity whether it is flowing versus after it is used? If the amount of electricity that ends up getting used varies from the amount of electricity that passed the "switch", what causes that variable? In WATER, regardless of the water pressure, if a nozzle/fixture/outlet (load/appliance) restricts the amount of water used to X per hour then the rate at which that water is flowing passed the valve will be equivalent to what ends up in the bucket. It would be weird if the water flow rate was say, 1 gallon an hour but we measured 2 gallons or only half a gallon in the bucket. Either the instrument used to measure the flow rate is broken or the water in the bucket was not measured correctly. Forgive my ignorance.

@@Christian_Prepper the end device (nozzle, sprinkler head, or the electrical load) is what determines the flow. The more restriction (resistance) the less current (water) will flow. With nothing on the end of the hose (or a solid connection to neutral or ground, large amounts will flow, regulated only by the supply and in the case of electrical, the breaker will trip. In the case with water, the yard or house will flood. Does that help?

Thanks John! Appreciate the comment!

Yeah, and then they re-sell them! Actually water does come back. The water cycle. Cannot be created or destroyed.

Thanks Sam.

That variable is very tough to nail down. We used to use 10c as a baseline. "Back when I was a kid"!

Thanks for the kind emojis!

U good bro Ride on💯👍

Constructive criticism accepted!
