watts measure _________.
select the correct response:
the strength of an electrical current
the pressure or force that pushes electrical current through a conductor
how much electrical energy is being used in one second
the resistance of an electrical current

Explanation:

• Electrical current strength is measured in amperes, not watts.
• Electrical pressure/force (voltage) is measured in volts, not watts.
• Watts are defined as the rate of electrical energy consumption or transfer, equal to one joule per second, which matches the description of energy used per second.
• Electrical resistance is measured in ohms, not watts.

Answer:

how much electrical energy is being used in one second
