-Amps are the electrical current unit.
-Volts are the electircal potential difference between two points unit
-Watts are the electrical power unit, and is the result of volts per amperes.
And if someone doesn't know or understand these definitions before reading this thread, now probably is thinking.. so what?
To provide more understanding of these unit a good way is to imagine the electricity -that is a flux of electrons- as a flux of water.
Imagine a water tank with a faucet, put at some level over the floor:
-the speed of the water when reach the floor is like the volts or voltage
-the quantity of water that reach the floor is like the current, or the amperes or the amperage
-the power with what the water can push when arrives at the floor is like the watts or the wattage
OK thats the easy part
Then, try to imagine two systems, one with the tank very high but with the faucet almost closed and other equal with the tank at floor level and the fauced more opened. What of the two tanks will provide more force? both more or less equal.
What if you want more force? increase the mass of water leaving the tank or increase the distance fallen by the water from the tank. Or the same, to increase the power, increase the voltage or the current. If possible, increase both. But do not overstate, the water can drag your measurement tool from your hands (or in electrical language, too much power can blow your fuse
Now, I beg the pardon of all the engineers, scientifics and academics for the gross oversimplification with the magnitudes the units and any confusion added, it has been in favour of the knowledge
