What does the electrical term "watts" represent?

Measurement of voltage
Measurement of electrical power
Measurement of current
Measurement of resistance

The correct answer is: Measurement of electrical power

The term "watts" represents a measurement of electrical power. In the context of electrical systems, power is defined as the rate at which electrical energy is transferred or converted. One watt is equivalent to one joule per second and is calculated as the product of voltage (in volts) and current (in amperes). Understanding this concept is crucial for RV technicians, as they need to ensure that electrical systems function efficiently and do not exceed the limits of the wiring and components used in recreational vehicles. Recognizing that watts measure the actual power consumption helps technicians manage energy usage and troubleshoot electrical issues effectively.
