The difference between Volt, Watts and Ampere.

I’ve tried looking it up on Google but it’s all way too technical (At least for my understanding, yes I’m slow).

Volts are the unit of the “pressure” (voltage) of electricity. Even if you don’t switch on a device, the battery provides it’s voltage. You need Volts first in order to do anything with electricity.

Applying Volts to a circuit then causes an electrical current to flow, it’s measured in Amperes.

Watts are the unit of power. Your phone charges with 5 Volts from USB, probably causing 2 Ampere to flow.

Volt x Ampere = Watt

5V x 2A = 10W

Your phone therefore charges with a power of 10 Watts.
