    Watt is unit of Power. The power that's being measured in watts is called as wattage. Same for the volt & voltage. Volt is the unit & Voltage is the measure of difference in the potential between two points measured in volts.

    Btw, this is wrong section. Use this section for asking questions related to electronics/electrical -> #-Link-Snipped-#

    hey u r asking the difference between short name to full name okay.!
    instead of calling wattage and voltage we people use to pronounce as watts or volts as per our convenience. There is no more difference.

    No difference?
    It would be incorrect to say, "This load draws 10 wattages."

    However it might possibly be correct to say, "This resistor is dropping 2 voltages," (a DC voltage and a different AC voltage), but that would be very different than saying it's dropping 2 volts.
