Watt Watt The watt (symbol: W) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second, and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. When an object's velocity is held constant at one meter per second against a constant opposing force of one newton, the rate at which work is done is 1 watt. In terms of electromagnetism, one watt is the rate at which electrical work is performed when a current of one ampere (A) flows across an electrical potential difference of one volt
Current density of the unit vectors. That is, the component of current density passing through the surface (i.e. normal to it) is , while the component of current density passing tangential to the area is , but there is "no" current density actually passing "through" the area in the tangential direction. The "only" component of current density passing normal to the area is the cosine component. Current density is important to the design of electrical and electronic systems. Circuit performance depends strongly upon the designed current level, and the current density then is determined by the dimensions of the conducting elements. For
