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
Atomic mass unit names for the same unit of measure. As with other unit names such as watt and newton, "dalton" is not capitalized in English, but its symbol, Da, is capitalized. With the introduction of the name "dalton", there has been a gradual change towards using that name in preference to the name, "unified atomic mass unit": The former definition of the mole, an SI base unit, was accepted by the CGPM in 1971 as: However, the first part of this definition was changed in 2018 to: One consequence of this change is that the current defined relationship between the mass of
