A watt is a unit of power. It is defined as 1 joule per second. For example, a typical microwave uses around 1000 watts of electricity. Watts are calculated by a simple formula: voltage x amperage=Watts. Amperage or AMPS is the speed at which the electric signal travels or pushes down a wire. The calculation for AMPS is: 1amp x 5volts=5watts Voltage is the intensity of the electrical signal. High voltage is considered 600 volts and up, so a standard USB cable uses 5 volts.

This Question illustrates an important principle about electricity. It is always trying to complete the circuit. In other words, electricity will always take the easiest route to get where it wants to go. With electricity, voltage is a measure of speed; the higher the voltage the more force is being used to pump the electricity and the farther it will jump, creating a larger arc or spark. So, the moral of the story is that you should never plug or unplug any appliance into a receptacle when it is on. If you do, you will probably see a little spark. However, if anytime you do see sparking coming from your receptacle when you plug something in and you made sure it was turned off first, give Simple Electric a call. In this case, there is something wrong with the receptacle.
