    Power = Energy ÷ time, and conversely, Energy = Power × time. Even though in English, people use the two colloquially.

        Notice the absence of division. It’s not watts per hour, but watt(s times)hours. So power multiplied by time which is energy. Just like the video explains.

        Watts are analogous to velocity, so if you were to divide watts by time, the result would be the increase of power i.e. acceleration of energy consumption.
