When you use the word power you should automatically think of the term watts. Watts is the product of amps x volts.

No, an ampere (amp) is a unit of electric current, not power. Power is measured in watts (W) and is the product of current (amps) and voltage (volts). Amps represent the rate of flow of electric charge, while power measures the amount of work done or energy transferred per unit time.

What are the 3 quantities of electricity?
Quantities or measurements related to electricity include:* Voltage * Current * Power * Energy * Capacitance * Inductance * Frequency
Which Is more powerful 10 amp or 12 amp in Electricity?
The 12 Amp fuse will take a larger current before it blows (or trips) - than a 10 Amp one.
What is the most common electricity outlet?
In North America the most common electricity outlet is 15 amp.
What is the cost of an amp of power per hour?
If you are asking about a Guitar Amp for example, you will have to look up the cost for what you want. If you are asking about an amp of current then you need to also know the voltage and power factor to determine Kilowatts per hour which is the unit used by power companies to calculate costs. A ballpark figure is 12 cents per Kilowatt Hour. If you are asking about a typical household with 120 VAC supply then 1 Amp x 120 VAC x 1 = 120 Watts. If you run the device for an hour then the "amp" at 12 cents per Kw Hr would cost you about 1.44 cents.
What do AMP connectors do?
AMP connectors are used for power cords and sockets. They will help your power cord work.
Does 220 amp service use more power than 110 amp?
No, they only use the power drawn from the service. The fact that is is 220 amp or 110 amp makes no difference. It is the load that is applied that determines the amount used.

What is the difference between a v and an amp?
A volt is the amount of electricity available in the circuit - Picture a pail filled with water An Amp is the rate that electricity travels through the circuit - picture a hole in the pail of water - the rate that water escapes from the pail of water is amperage
How do Guitar pickups work?
electricity comes from the wall and into the amplifier (A given) after its generated into the amp it goes through the cable into the guitar through the guitar it goes through all the electronics like the volume , tone knob..ect than the electricity goes into the pickups and than the electricity gets grounded
What will happen if you hook up a system and the amp rms is lower than the sub rms?
you could possibly kill your amp. because the subs are asking for a certain amount of power and your amp cant give the power. but typically the amp will push all its power avalible to the sub and you should be fine. but for the optimum sound system the amp rms should be the same or close to the sub rms.
25 amp supply to your house in Spain how big a wind generator would you need to generate a similar amount of electricity?
About 6,250 watts
How is wave power generated?
from a device called signal generators or oscillators which consist of passive elements as capacitors,resistors and coils or may contain ic's as op-amp.
Does the increase in volume on a valve amp use more electricity?
Increased volume on any amp, valve or solid state, will use more electricity.
What is a amp capacitor?
In simplest terms it is a power reserve. It stores power and releases it very quickly when your amplifier needs it, such as to deal with a large/sudden amount of bass.
