I want to go camping but use a generator to run a computer. A laptop and desktop need different watts. You have to put the right amount of watts into each device. Different outlets have different watts. The watts in a cigarette lighter are different than the watts in a generator.
What is a watt? What do different watt numbers mean? What happens if I have a device sending too many watts or not enough to a device? Is it critical or just ideal to match them?
In: Engineering
Current (Amps) times Voltage (Volts) = Watts.
For example: 3 Amps current at 110 Volts = 330 Watts.
Be cautious running a computer off a generator..
