Torque is the measurement of turning force. A wrench applies torque to a bolt. A motor or engine provides torque to do work.
Horsepower is the measurement of the work done or ability to do work. This is done by taking the speed the engine is operating at (RPM) and what torque it is producing and applying a formula to give a horsepower rating.
