I Being thus furnished with a stand- ard of measurement it is necessary only to multiply the amount employed (commonly called “capacity"l by the number of hours of use to get the ac- tual quantity consumed in watt hours. The sixteen candle power lamp. with its fifty watts capacity. consumes fli'ty watt hours each hour it is used. The customary unit of consumption ls the kilowatt hour. (1.000 watts used one hourl. and the lamp will consume this quantity in twenty hours.

A thousand (kilol Watts are the mechanical equivalent of one and one-third horsepowerâ€"that is. a mechanical horsepower equals 746 watts of energy. Lighting circuits usually carry 110 to 120 volts. An or. dinary sixteen candle power lamp takes a little less than half an ampere in volume and consequently consumes about fifty watts of current. With the tungsten lamp the rating by watts in- stead of candle power has been intro- duced and bids fair to become univer- sally adopted. quantity of electricity increases in ex- act proportion to the electric pressure of voltage. and this quantity is meas- ured by watts. in order to get a tangible idea of the ampere. electricity may be com- pared With water flowing through a pipe. In this illustration the ampere will represent the volume of water. which is determined by the size or the pipe. but this should not be confused with the size oi the electric wire, which has nothing to do with the pres- ent problem. The ampere then meas- rres the volume of current flowing in the wire at a given time. The quanti- ty of energy flowing will depend upon the other factor. which is expressed in volts. The volt may he considered the mess are of pressure or intensity. in the illustration of water flowing through a pipe the pressure is commonly express- ed in pounds to the square inch. With electric energy the same idea is ex- pressed in volts. It is evident that the quantity of water flowing in a pipe of a given size will increase as the pres- sure increases. ln a similar way the This leads to the deflnltlon of a watt. But in order to know watts one must first learn about the two other memo bers of the family. amperea and volts.
