Units of Electric Power Video Lecture | Crash Course: Class 10

what's a watt this little old lady can
generate 40 watts this teenager are you
about 90 watts yeah grandma yeah
whatever
what's a watt it's the measure of power
we want power and power is measured in
watts make sense
hmm that's the one one Joule per second
equals one watt so what's a Joule no
Joule not Joule let's make this simple
here's Lance he's an elite cyclist Lance
can produce about 250 watts for up to
eight hours straight you could reduce
500 watts for a few minutes and as much
as 1,500 watts during a sprint and
here's Lance on steroids just kidding
so what's a watt a watt is a measure of
energy flow we put energy into a
conversion device to make power
I'm playing the truck even ourselves
wait food to a person sure food contains
energy that we convert to power here's
Lance using energy to create power so
what's a watt a watt is a measure of
power so is a kilowatt which is 1,000
watts so is a megawatt which is 1
million watts so is a gigawatt which is
1 billion watts so what's a watt it's
the way we measure power output a watt
is a measure of energy flow we use
energy to generate power
