Definition:

The watt is a unit of power that is equal to one joule per second. It is named after the Scottish inventor James Watt.

History/origin:

The watt was first proposed as a unit of power by James Watt in the late 18th century. It was officially adopted as a unit of measurement in 1889 by the International System of Units (SI).

Current use:

The watt is used to measure the rate of energy transfer or conversion. It is commonly used to express the power output of engines and motors, as well as the power consumption of electronic devices.
