Amp, volt, watt: what’s the difference?

Amps measure current, volts measure the strength of the flow, and watts are the total power released by a circuit per second. Ohms measure resistance. Understanding these terms is important for electrical work and evaluating electric bills. Amps, volts, and watts are all ways to measure different aspects of electricity. An ampere, or amp (A […]

What’s an electron volt in physics?

Electron volts (eV) are a small unit of energy used in physics research, derived from the energy required to move a single electron through an electrical potential of one volt. They are used in fields such as nuclear and particle physics, astronomy, and chemistry. While not a standard metric unit, they can be used to […]
