| joule per second | J/s | 1 J/s | |
| watt | W | 1 J/s | i- watt
- SI base unit of power
In mechanical terms, one watt equals about 0.001 341 02 horsepower (hp) or 0.737 562 foot-pound per second (lbf/s).
In electrical terms, one watt is the power produced by a current of one ampere flowing through an electric potential of one volt.
