Let’s actually start with Amps, which is a measure of the amount of electricity, how much current.

Volts is a measure of the pressure of that electrical current.

Watts is a measure of the total electrical output, and is simply a function of the previous two measurements, Amps x Volts = Watts. Electrical output is what drives up the utility bill.

So, it electricity is like water in a hose, which is apparently a fairly accurate comp...
