Your question is a little like asking "How do you convert kilograms into kilometres per hour?"! You cannot directly convert watts into amperes, because they measure two completely-different quantities: the watt measures power, whereas the ampere measures current.

However, if you know the power developed by, say, a resistor, and the voltage across that resistor, then you could divide the power by that voltage, in order to determine how much current is passing through the resistor. Similarly, if you know the power developed by a resistor, and its value of resistance, then you could determine the current by finding the square-root of (the power divided by resistance).

The above solutions are based on two equations: P = VI and P = I2R.

watts = volts x amps kilowatt = 1000 watts


What is 0.011 in converting watts to amperes?

To convert watts to amps a voltage value must be given. Amps = Watts/Volts. Amps = .011/Volts.


How to convert watts to amps?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


Is 17 watts 120 volts?

No. Watts = Volts x Amps Watts does not directly convert to volts.


How many amps are a watt?

No.By which I mean: amps and watts are not just different units, they're different TYPES of units. You can't convert amps to watts without knowing the voltage (if you DO know the voltage, multiply volts by amps to get watts).


How do you convert BTU to amp?

How many amps is 3000 watts?

Amperage (coulombs/sec sort of like volume) and wattage (power) are independent of each other if you know the voltage you can calculate amps but they are not the same thing. 3000 watts/X volts=amps ex. 3000 watts/110v=27.28 amps


How many watts does 100 amps at 120 v?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


How many amps are in a fifty thousand Watt taset?

You cannot convert watts to amps, since watts are power and amps are coulombs per second (like converting gallons to miles). However, if you have at least least two of the following three: amps, volts or watts then the missing one can be calculated. Since watts are amps multiplied by volts, there is a simple relationship between them.
