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
Open-circuit voltage potential drop across the resistance C. The resistor B does not affect the open-circuit voltage. Since no current is flowing through it, there is no potential drop across it. So we can easily ignore it. Therefore, the potential drop across the resistance C is "V." This is just an example. Many other ways can be used. Open-circuit voltage Open-circuit voltage (abbreviated as OCV or V ) is the difference of electrical potential between two terminals of a device when disconnected from any circuit. There is no external load connected. No external electric current flows between the terminals. Alternatively, the open-circuit
