Solution

Volt is the SI unit of electromotive force, the difference of potential that would carry one ampere of current against one ohm resistance.
  1. Watt is the SI unit of power, equivalent to one joule per second, corresponding to the rate of consumption of energy in an electric circuit where the potential difference is one volt and the current one ampere.Anammeter(fromAmpereMeter) is ameasuring instrumentused to measure thecurrentin acircuit. Electric currents are measured inamperes(A), hence the name. Instruments used to measure smaller currents, in the milliampere or microampere range, are designated asmilliammetersormicroammeter
