The Joule is a unit of energy, while the Watt is a unit of power. Joule is the alternate name for a Newton-meter of energy, and Watt is the alternate name for a Newton-meter per second of power. This means that one Watt is one Joule per second; a 100-Watt light bulb converts 100 Joules of electrical energy every second into heat energy and light energy.

A watt is a unit of power. 1 watt = 1 joule/second; that is, if somebody consumes 1 watt, it consumes 1 joule of energy every second. Or if there is a transfer of 1 watt, 1 joule of energy is transferred every second. 1000 watts (1 kW), of course, is simply 1000 times as much (1000 joule/second).
1 kilowatt = 1,000 watts1 watt = 1 joule per second1 hour = 3,600 seconds(1,500 kilowatt-hour) x (1,000 watt / kilowatt) x (1 joule / watt-second) x (3,600 second / hour) =(1,500 x 1,000 x 3,600) x (kilowatt - hour - watt - joule- second) / (kilowatt - watt - second - hour)= 5,400,000,000 joules
Yes, it is also known as the Watt
The watt is a measurement of work done by an object at constant velocity and under constant force. 1 watt, therefore, is equal to 1 Joule per second.
Watt is a unit of power, newton is a unit of force. 1 joule (unit of enrgy) is equal to one newton-meter, and one watt (unit of power) is equal to one joule/second, so 1 W = 1 Nm/s.
