Even those with training can forget the rock bottom basics.
The important thing is that current (amps) is a result, not a force. (Did you know batteries have resistance?)
Resistance is a property of things and as such doesn't vary easily. (Yes, very simplified) Voltage is generated and applied to a resistance. Those fundamental aspects will make current/amperage happen.
When current flows "work" can happen. Watts is a calculation we find useful to describe overall power/work.
